just want to live inside every single Sarah Addison Allen book, Seriously. I can't express how much I love the worlds and characters she creates, If those place actually existed I would be packing my bags and moving there, The Girl Who Chased the Moon was a pretty fun book to dive into, I'm not sure I've ever read or listened to one of Sarah's book before but it was entertaining for sure, I wasn't expecting to have so many secrets within this short book but man, it had a ton, The one thing I kind of wanted was for this to be a bit longer, Mostly because certain things that happened just felt rushed to me,

For example, the ending, That just zoomed by me and I wasn't even sure it ended until the narrator was quiet, Other than that, things were pretty predictable to me but then again it was a short book, So it wasn't that hard to not be predictable in my eyes,

In the end, it was enjoyable and I look forward to my next book by this author, No seu mais recente romance mágico, Sarah Addison Allen convidanos a visitar uma pitoresca cidade do Sul dos Estados Unidos onde duas mulheres bem diferentes descobrem como encontrar o seu lugar no mundo, por mais deslocadas que se sintam.

This is the third novel by Allen that I've read, and I am happy to say they cannot be pigeonholed, There are two romances going on here, but the theme of the story is acceptance,

The author is so skilled at characterization that I don't even notice it being done, These people simply seem to exist,

I love Allen's way with words, "It had probably been an opulent white at one time, but now it was gray, and its Gothic Revival pointedarch windows were dusty and opaque, It was outrageously flaunting its age, spitting paint chips and old roofing shingles into the yard, "

There isn't much action in this plot, it's more about how people think of each other, and the exposition of the theme takes all the room.
The little bit of magic included in the story is charming but doesn't really interfere with the believability, In this book, I think the magic is used metaphorically to stand for ideas,

Though this isn't my preferred genre, I will be happy to read anything this author comes out with in the future,.
Sarah Addison Allen is one of the very few ladies' lit authors I can tolerate, Her stories are sweet and fluffy and utterly insubstantial, but they're nice when you need a break from heavier fare, I always know what I'm asking for when I pick one up, so I can't complain too much afterward that they're sappy and implausible, That would be like ordering vanilla ice cream and then complaining that it wasn't mashed potatoes and gravy, Or buying a Britney Spears CD and then wondering why it doesn't sound like AClightning boltDC, Anyway, my point is that you go into a Sarah Allen story knowing it's a confection, and you just happen to have a sweet tooth at the moment.


Allen uses magical realism in a light and playful way, as a means of helping the characters have that happy ending we all want for them.
This particular story features an eightfoottall grandfather who spends a lot of time checking the dryer for frogs, Made ya curious, didn't I You'll also meet a family whose men have a genetic anomaly that makes it uncomfortable for them to go out after dark.
Hint: They're NOT werewolves or vampires, Also, there's some wallpaper that functions sort of like those mood rings that were popular in thes, only cooler, And a delightful baked goods theme that will make you swear you can smell vanilla and cinnamon,

This is the third Allen book I've read, I have only one ongoing gripe, and it seems to be the one thing that keeps me from nudging my ratings up to four, She spends a lot of time building a back story for her characters, getting me really interested in the secrets of their past and making me curious about their futures.
Then, when all has been revealed and it's time to tie up the story, she hits me with a bangboombombbingwhambamdamnthankyouma'am ending that leaves me feeling like the entire book was just foreplay.
Ya know All that buildup, and THIS is how it ends!

In spite of that one complaint, not to mention the gooey romantic barfy stuff, I still recommend the books for a certain mood.
Why Because while I'm sitting there in my sugar coma with a big goofy grin on my face wondering what just happened, I'm also greedily looking forward to my next fix.
After the death of her mother Dulcie Shelby, seventeen year old, Emily Benedict moved to North Carolina to the town of Mullaby to live with her grandfather Vance aka the giant of Mullaby whom she's never known about before.
Curious as to why her mother never mentioned her time at home and she never came back to visit, Emily wants to learn about the obvious story lurking in this small town, and why some seem cold to her.

Will she have to live with the sins of her mothers past
, . . It's been almostyears since, once troubled teen, Julia Winterson has come back home to Mullaby, Only in town to settle her fathers debt since he died, Julia plans to leave as soon as possible, What happens when her cakes filled with hope and a regret from long ago comes back in the form of sexy smile and a second chance for happiness

Two women.
Two different stories. Both chasing the moon.

The Girl Who Chased the Moon was so cute and so charming that I absolutely loved it, The story line is simple but it's also incredibly irresistible, This is a love story but it's also something much much more, It's about finding a place when you feel so out of place, It's about regrets, mistakes, redemption, magic and mystery,
This has a little bit of everything in a good read, the plot was intriguing, the writing is remarkable and the characters are confident and refreshing.

Julia's story focuses on her regret all though reformed, haunted by memories of past mistakes, While

Emily story focuses on magic, mystery and a mother that she thought she knew, The men in there lives, Sawyer and Win, equally won my heart, both filled with wonderful southern charm and sexy smiles,
I think what I loved the most about it was that this wasn't a story that was overpowering, it's a very simple story of two women and the men in there lives but it left me believing in love, magic and most of all hope.


Very Squealworthy, in fact I really hope we'll see more about Julia and Emily in the near future! All though this is targeted at adult readers, I think that YA readers would still appreciate this gem.

Recommended to anyone looking for a feel good read,

Enchanting, Endearing and Captivating,
This is a beautiful love story that will touch your heart,
