Written as a diary, this was difficult to read. It was interesting to see how an adolescent thinks, but again, I struggled to follow the story line. the ending was better, in that it was written from the adult viewpoint of Luna, so it was a bit easier to read. Not a book for everyone but it is written by a good author, so may be worth the attempt by some.
