Once and for All
by Sarah Dessen
I’ve liked or loved every Sarah Dessen book I read so far, and while I wasn’t head over heels for Once and for All, I liked it.
I liked Louna and the setting, I thought it was a lot of fun and she was a great character. However, I couldn’t connect to Ambrose at all. Maybe it’s an age thing, but I didn’t think the way he was acting was cute or charming, just annoying (and to be honest, I thought the same of similar characters when I was his age too).
I also didn’t like the back and forth between past and present. It’s a device I usually enjoy, but here I felt it was taking away from the current story. I thought it would have been better if set entirely in the present, with Louna sharing her story through the narration.
