Title: The Moon and More
Author: Sarah Dessen
Published: June 4, 2013
Publisher: Viking Juvenile

Luke is the perfect boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun. He and Emaline have been together all through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.

Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too smart for Colby.

Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?

Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?

Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.

My Teaser:

Life is long. Just because you don't get your chance right when you want or expect it doesn't mean it won't come.

I haven't quite reached this point yet, but I saw this quote online before I started reading this, and it really caught my attention.  So I thought I would share.  :)  I'm listening to the audio, and so far it's wonderful.  My first Sarah Dessen book... and I'd have to say, I'm a fan.  :)
