I liked how Louna's working life was a big part of the story. And Dessen has done a good job of updating her teen characters to have current interests and vocabulary. I didn't enjoy the plot of this one as much. Once I learned about a sad event in Louna's past, I felt some dread waiting for it to be described.

When I think of the similar first-day meeting of the two characters in "The Sun is Also a Star," their make-out session in the karaoke bar - am I remembering this right? - seemed more intense and real, and their connection far more believable.
