A review by sausome
Good Moon Rising by Nancy Garden

3.0

Well, Nancy Garden, you've written another youthful queer story, goodonya. This one didn't work for me like "Annie On My Mind" did. I just don't buy that a 16 and 17-year-old girl would be immediately like "I love you" after a first kiss (not really real life, as I see it) -- unless it's just a momentary obsession giddiness thing, which is maybe more plausible. But then the language of "blah blah blah, my love" and "Dearest love, blah blah blah" -- when talking to each other! What?! We're still 16 and 17 are we? Because, um, I don't think so. Anyway, more schmaltz that I'd prefer, and more unrealistic also.

That being said, I still give Ms. Garden kudos for her queer-adolescent-lit endeavors!
