Once and for All by Sarah Dessen

Once and for All

by Sarah Dessen

From Sarah Dessen, the beloved New York Times bestselling author of SAINT ANYTHING and JUST LISTEN, comes a new novel set in the world of wedding planning!

Is it really better to have loved and lost?  Louna's summer job is to help brides plan their perfect day, even though she stopped believing in happily-ever-after when her first love ended tragically.  But charming girl-magnet Ambrose isn't about to be discouraged now that he's met the one he really  wants.  Maybe Louna's second chance is standing right in front of her.


 Sarah Dessen’s many fans will adore this latest novel, a richly satisfying, enormously entertaining story with humor, romance, and an ending that is so much more than happily-ever-after.

Sarah Dessen is usually a hit or miss for me, so I was a little apprehensive, but this one surprised me! Once and for All felt a little different than the other Dessen books, which may be one reason why I enjoyed it so much more than all the others. I really liked Ethan's storyline, even though at first I was a little wary. By the end I was wishing we had a book for Ethan (without the tragic ending though). Ambrose was annoying in the beginning, which had me wondering how Dessen was going to pull off him as the love interest, but it happened so naturally to where I was rooting for them in the end.

Definitely my favorite Sarah Dessen book, by far. I listened to it on audio and definitely recommend.
