Once and for All
by Sarah Dessen
I truly love every book Sarah Dessen has written. Which might make me biased. But I loved this book. There is something about the storylines and characters she writes that I just can't get enough of. This book is no exception.
I really loved the main character Louna and her story. She was smart and cynical (for good reason) and incredibly witty. And I loved her dynamic with Ambrose, the goofy, kind rich-boy. It was refreshing to see a rich character that did not live up to pompous rich-boy stereotype, while being from a wealthy family did come up a few times in the story (who has never been to a dollar store before??!), it did not define him. His quirky views and complete self-confidence is what I will remember about him.
I really liked the story line about school shootings. I feel like while we hear a lot about shooters in schools these days, we move on so quickly to the next story often without thinking of the lasting impact of the victims and their families. You hear their name in the days after the event and then we move on to the trial (if the shooter survives) and then it disappears from the news as do the stories of the victims. This was a nice tribute to those that have been taken too soon and their impact on the people in their lives.
I can't wait for her next book. She has some amazing novels for those who have not had the pleasure of reading one of her works. I recommend them all, and this one is great!
