                                                             Review by: Cassidy Siler

      I loved this book. It was so amazing, that I couldn't stop reading it. When I tried to put the book down, it just wouldn't work. Siobhan Curham did an amazing job on this book and I can't wait to read the sequel.

   In this book there are four girls, Amber, Rose, Sky, and Maali. With ever chapter it changes characters, like it can be Amber talking then go to Rose.

 Amber is the first girl introduced in the book, she has two dads (Daniel, Gerald). She doesn't know who her real mom is, but that doesn't bother her. She has no friends, because everyone at school hates her because her she has two dads. She is a blogger, and her inspiration is Oscar Wilde, who she mainly talks about throughout the book.

 The next girl is Maali, she is Hindi and her parents run a Bakery shop, and she loves to take pictures. Her dream is to be able to talk to boys, and find her one true love like how she reads about it in books. She is very shy, and being Hindi, she prays to the goddess of love, beauty, and prosperity.

    The next girl is Sky. Sky lives on a boat with her dad, because her mom died 5 years ago. They live on a boat so that way they can travel the world on an adventure. Also Sky is a poet and doesn't share her poetry with anyone else but her dad. Sky's dream is to compete in a poetry slam.

 The last girl is Rose, she lives with her mom because her dad went back to America so he could do his jobs in New York on Broadway.(Actor) Her mother is Savannah, the one and only model, that everyone in London knows of. Savannah is trying to make Rose follow in her moms dreams and be a model, but Rose doesn't want to, she wants to be a Baker (cake maker).

 One day Amber is working at Retro Go-Go, and a she see's a very interesting girl and slipped her a note about the group of girls Amber is trying to create, called the moonlight dreamers. Then she met a girl named Sky who look very interesting to her, and slipped her a note when she was buying post cards.

  A couple days later they had the first moonlight dreamers meeting, and Sky had to bring Rose because Sky's dad and Rose's mom are moved in with each other now. So Rose became a moonlight dreamer too. Later in the book Rose sends a nude picture to her boyfriend Matt. Later she started regretting it, especially because they got in a fight and he posted it to Rose's Instagram. All of the news, and everyone seen it because she's the top models daughter, and it caused a bunch of chaos. But what came of it was that is brought Rose and her mom closer to Sky and her dad.

Toward the end of the book Amber came home one night and made up with Gerald, because he's her biological dad, and she never knew that and she didn't like him that much, until they made up. For Amber's birthday her dads took her and the moonlight dreamers, who were by now very close, to Paris, to see Oscar Wilde's grave. Amber's dream is to see Oscar Wilde's grave so she could put her letter that she wrote him on it. After she did that the book ended with the moonlight dreamers standing around the grave holding hands, reciting the moonlight dreamer quote:

Yes: for I am a dreamer, a dreamer is one who can only find their way by the moonlight, and their punishment is that they see the dawn before the rest of the world.

I found this book to be truly amazing, and I do recommend it for girls all over the world. So that they can be true and be themselves just like Amber, Maali, Sky and Rose. If you haven't read this book yet I strongly recommend it. I loved the book, so thank you Siobhan Curham for writing such a great book. - Cassidy

ps. After all be yourself , because everybody else is already taken...
