Once and for All
by Sarah Dessen
Once and For All, was a definitely improvement for Sarah Dessen over the last couple of books. I’ve loved her writing since she came out with Dreamland, but I’ve really started to see where her last few have been formulaic. I’m not sure what was so different about this one, but I genuinely liked Louna and I could see where having a relationship that had one beautiful night, and then ended so tragically could be so traumatic especially for a young teenager who hasn’t even had a normal relationship.
I think I also liked the fact that Ambrose was a serial-dater. Usually in these books the guy is some kind of pristine virtuous man, and I liked the fact that Ambrose was just unapologetically himself. There was definitely the typical drama you expect in a coming of age story, but I really liked the way things ended with Ambrose and Louna. Neither of them completely gave up everything for the other one. It was a solid 4 out of 5 stars for me.
