A deeply emotional, romantic read, Under the Moon was a wonderful New Adult romance. I really liked this book. It had a shaky start, but it turned out to be a lovely read.Selena was a good heroine. She was strong and determined, taking on the care of her schizophrenic mother and rebellious brother, all while struggling underneath some intense guilt. There were some points where she was a bit shrewish and, though I understood her attitude, it did get irritating after a while, especially when she kept pushing Keenan away. But, overall, I liked her.Keenan was wonderful. He was very sweet, especially with Selena and his cousin, Grace. He was determined to win over Selena and he was so adorable about it. I really liked him.The romance was lovely. Selena and Keenan were very sweet together and, though a certain someone was in denial about it, they were a perfect couple. And, for those who are interested, this is a clean romance, but there was still some chemistry between them. I thought they were great together.Grace was Keenan's cousin and I really liked her character. She was fun, yet heartbreaking, and very likable. The other characters were great, too. Parker was tons of fun, Selena's mother was well portrayed, and her brothers created an interesting contrast in their reactions to their father's death. I thought they were all well done characters.The plot was good. It took a while to start up but, when it did, I was kept interested. There were some issues with grammatical errors that were distracting and sometimes the language felt contrived and a bit cheesy. But, I still really enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.Under the Moon was a wonderful New Adult romance. It was deep, emotional, romantic, and an enjoyable read. Romance lovers, this is a book worth checking out.
