Selena Johnson is living with guilt.  Every day of her life she is reminded of her father’s death because of her choice.  Her mother is sick, her older brother has disappeared and her younger brother is rebelling and it’s all her fault.  If she hadn’t made that one choice, three years prior, they wouldn’t be where they are now.  Keenan Case is living with his own guilt.  Living his life in the fast lane, his failure to relent resulted in the death of his best friend.  Living everyday with the guilt of the night he refused to take no for an answer, Keenan must move forward and live his life with the memories of his best friend while trying to get a grip on his own happiness.Under the Moon is a really emotional read.  However, with the difficult issues faced in the story the author also did a great job at creating lighthearted and funny moments.  The characters in the story were all truly enjoyable.  Selena and Keenan were great, I really enjoyed the progression of their relationship and their growth together while dealing with the guilt they face.  I loved the dynamic between, Keenan, Parker and Grace.  They were so funny and witty and brought so much character to the story.There were times I felt certain conversations and moments were repetitive and redundant which slowed the progression of the story.  However, the author did an incredible job with her wording.  There were passages throughout the story that were completely awe-inspiring.  The author created some of the most memorable moments with her wording.  These moments whether they were lighthearted, emotional or self-realization were some of the most incredible I have ever read.  I love to read because there is so much beauty in words and when you string them together they can make an ordinary moment, extraordinary, and Rose J. Bell did a fabulous job doing just this.  Under the Moon was an absolutely beautiful story!*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
