OLDER FICTION
Dessen, Sarah

Keeping the Moon

(4) YA While spending the summer at her eccentric artist aunt's house, Colie reinvents herself with the help of two older girls who waitress with her, regaining the confidence she lost when she was overweight and picked on. Supporting characters tend to steal the show in this first-person novel, because the narrator is bland and timid by comparison, even after her transformation occurs.
