Losing the Moon

Excellent - And Short-ish - Tale Of The Power Of Friendship And Community. In this latest entrant in this saga of four friends living lives in each other's orbits, we get quite a bit packed into such a smallish page count - there's intense action as a snowmobile race gets dicy, there's the drama of unexpected surprises and possible relapses, there's friends coming together in some of the most difficult circumstances as their entire community rallies around them. All told in a very real yet very relatable way, and again, all completed in a tale that serves as a solid read while the kids are running off steam at the playground or on the ball field or maybe while you're waiting to pick them up from school or some such. Or, for the childfree/ those with grown children among us, while sitting poolside with a good drink or even standing in line at a theme park or maybe lounging away one lazy Saturday looking out across whatever scenery brings you serenity.

Truly well done, though you're probably going to want to start earlier in the series and get to this point, rather than jumping into the series here. Which just means you have more to look forward to, in that case. ;)

Very much recommended.
