Review of Chasing The Moon by Melanie Hooyenga

Two best friends. One tiny tent. An attraction that’s impossible to ignore.

Melody
Being a semi-famous science tokker epically rocks because I get to make science accessible for girls. Until I make a mistake and a jerkface tokker ridicules me to his fans. I need to prove I’m not a hack before my followers bail and I ruin my credibility—all before I graduate from high school.

Just one problem: my family’s hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where I won’t have signal for a week. Oh, and I’m sharing a tent with the Bestie Brigade—my two best friends—and I’ve crushed on one of them for longer than trends last on TikTok.

Dating Steph would make Jess feel left out and I vowed I’d never do that to her again. Do I risk hurting my closest friend for a chance at love?

Stephanie
Senior year was rolling along just great until my parents announced they’re getting divorced the same night I broke up with my girlfriend.

Spending a week offline in the Grand Canyon to watch the lunar eclipse with Jess and Mel is the perfect way to pretend my life isn’t falling apart. Except we’re camping with people who insist on talking through EVERY FREAKING PROBLEM around the campfire.

And I’m not ready to share.

The time away with Mel makes our connection even stronger, but I’m scared whatever she’s hiding could change our friendship forever.
 

My Review: 5 STARS

I picked this up having read the first two in the series and I was so happy to dive into it. I love that this series is set over a number of years so that the couples are still there, but in different life stages. Melody and Steph were adorable, and the whole three friends dynamic worked so well,. I was delighted to see cameos my previous characters from other series, and the whole book was a delightful twisty turning romance dealing with issues that everyone can relate to. Overall an amazing book, and great end to the series. Very much recommended!
