Keeping the Moon was a book I did not like to read. The book’s many problems consist of being uninteresting‚ unrelatable‚ and worst of all it’s predictable. Some might argue that the overall message is wise‚ but it truly is a terrible book that’s very unenjoyable to read. Keeping the Moon has very uninteresting characters and storyline.
