Two strangers.
Two broken hearts.
One night to set each other free.
Almost dying from an undiagnosed heart condition means every second of your life is a precious gift to be guarded.
Lena Pettitt was born a miracle.
And her parents never let her forget it.
Even if that daily reminder kept her from experiencing the one thing they were trying to protect most--her life.
Gabriel Martinez’s heart has been ripped out.
His pride has been stomped on.
Oh, and he now has an arrest record that’s caused an even bigger rift between him and his DA mother. All for a love that wasn’t really true.
Now he’s exiled to his grandmother’s, working on his late grandpa’s old Corvair when a shivering girl knocks on the garage door. Lena, left alone for the first time ever, has locked herself out of her house--in the snow. Gabe knows he could help this girl get back inside her house--but that may mean missing the next train to Boston to pick up the part he’s spent eight weeks tracking down. She can wait for him at his grandmother’s or…
A few hours, an aluminum valve cover, and some strong coffee later, neither Gabe or Lena can feign disappointment when they race to the station and arrive just as the last train home from Boston is pulling out.
As jaded as he is, Gabe can’t deny the fact that he’s excited to spend the night exploring a city he knows nearly every corner of, with a girl who sees magic in the simplest things.
Lena has been waiting for her tiny world to crack open her entire life. Now that it’s finally happened, she finds the only thing she can focus on is the unexpected tour guide who opens her eyes to possibilities she never imagined.
All they have is this one night, together, under the bright moon in a city full of hidden beauty.
It’s one night that will change how they see the world and the paths their hearts will take forever.
Even The Moon Has Scars was a lovely story of two young adults, Gabe
and Lena, taking an adventure to the city. Steph's writing is almost perfect! It
allows you to get inside the character's minds and feel what they are going
through. I will definitely read her books in the future.
I give Even The Moon Has Scars 4 stars!
Gabe was sent to live with his grandmother's because he got himself into a bit
of trouble. While there a neighbor girl stops over because she's locked herself
out of her house and she needs help getting back in. Gabe will help her but it
is imperative that he goes to town right away and he will help her when they get
back. They both learn so much about each other on their adventure. Gabe learns
that Lena has a heart defect and that her parents never let her out of their
house. Lena learns that Gabe is a bit of a bad boy. Together they see each
other's lives in different perspectives.
"Isn't that what life is about? Collecting scars. Touching people with them?
Having them as permanent reminders when people leave?" -Gabe
"I guess you can only make excuses for people for so long before they all just
sound like excuses." -Gabe
"For once I want to do something stupid. For once I want to live a little. And I
want to do it with you." -Lena
"The stars. They all burn out eventually. But that big guy up here. Even he's
got scars, and he's still keeping on, right? It'll be okay, Lena. We're both
going to be okay." -Gabe
