This was my January Book of the Month Club selection and wasn't on my radar until I saw it listed there. And I am so glad I picked it.
Girls in the Moon seems to be the story of Phoebe, daughter of 90's rock stars. But it is so much more. At the end of the summer Phoebe is getting ready to leave Buffalo for a few days in NYC with her sister Luna who is set to follow in their mother's shoes.
Phoebe feels like she needs some space from her mom who wants her to talk Luna into going back to school instead of pursuing her musical career. She also needs to get away from her best friend Tessa after a falling out. And she would like to spend some time with a boy she has begun to like, a boy who happens to be in her sister's band.
And the most complicated part is that she wants to see her Dad who hasn't been in contact on almost 3 years. She needs some answers but has been unable to ask her mother.
Sprinkled throughout the book are chapters from Meg's (Phoebe and Luna's mom) point of view starting with their move into their house after the ending of her marriage and working backwards.
This gives some insight into why Meg is having a hard time with Luna's choices.
I really enjoyed the story and highly recommend it!
