A review by sarabearian
Once and for All by Sarah Dessen

Louna has seen every kind of wedding there is; from beachside nuptials to glittering ballrooms, all in the line of her job. She has worked for years in her mother’s wedding business and to say she is cynical towards living "happily ever after" would be putting it mildly. Louna had the best boyfriend anyone could ever hope to meet, but in an instant he was gone, and with it was her hope to ever find love again. Can anyone ever hope to be lucky enough to find it twice?
The true test will be her mother’s new employee; Ambrose. After meeting while working one of her mother’s events he soon becomes the newest edition to the office. He is equal parts frustrating and captivating. To say he has a way with women would be an understatement. When a bet is made between them, Louna knows there is no way he can win. But Ambrose losing could benefit both of them. Will Louna be willing to open her heart again?
Those who love Dessen’s YA novels will not be disappointed with this new installment of coming of age and teenage love that is both lighthearted and serious at the same time. The perfect “beach-read!” – Pamela B.
