In as much time as it takes to smoke a cigarette, a person's life was changed forever.

Karen McQuestion, A Scattered Life

[aquotecollection]

Money, money, money. Some people had far more than they could spend in a lifetime, so much that they could barely keep track of it. She wished they’d send some her way. She dreamed of winning the lottery or having some long-lost relative leave her a house and a vast fortune to go along with it. On really desperate days, she’d have settled for a windswept twenty-dollar bill landing at her feet.

I listed to The Moonlight Child through Hoopla with my local library, however this book is on Kindle Unlimited! This book was pretty good, I enjoyed the characters and the story it was a nice easy change from the norm. I rate The Moonlight Child 8.5/10. I didn't love it enough to want to buy it but like I stated earlier it was a good story. I did shed a small tear at the end.

❗️❗️Spoiler Alert❗️❗️

I was a little hesitant at first to get into this story mostly because I don’t usually read these types of books, but I found myself getting encased in the story the more I read.

I absolutely loved the characters! Scout was just so innocent and naive and my heart broke for him! I loved his perspective. We, as readers, got to explore and learn about the world along with Scout. I also really liked Emma and how she handled things. I think for the most part, I believed her and her emotions. I understood why she did what she did and why she reacted like she did.

I think the beginning and the middle of the story were written well. It flowed smoothly and it made sense that it would progress the way it did. The only issue I had with this story was the ending. I understand that the author wanted to wrap things up nicely so there’d be no plot holes or burning questions, but I think it was rushed and thrown together to wrap it up. The story, for me at least, ended when Emma found Lucas standing in middle of the road while she was driving back. I would have been fine with the story ending there, but I did like parts of that continuation. I thought Scout’s note to Emma was really cute. It kinda made me think back to the fight they had earlier in the book where they played with the possibility of Scout staying. The idea of feelings beginning to develop for both of them was briefly brushed and then completely dropped. I think I would have liked to either explore that a little more or just not had that idea come up.

Overall, I really loved this story and I’m so glad I found it!

This is a very confusing planet. People believe things that aren't true about other people just because of how they look and what kind of vehicle they drive. Why can you not wait and see who they are inside before you make a decision?

I had that sick feeling like when you get called to the principal's office: the sensation of shame and impending doom even without knowing exactly what you did wrong, if anything.

Most of the time, it didn't make a difference either way. Mrs. Walker saw the world in black and white, while Lucas and I saw every shade. She would always be color-blind, and arguing with her didn't help.
