A luminous YA love story that evokes Judy Blume's Forever for a new generation.
Sarah—Bean to her friends and family—is an aspiring astronomer and champion mathlete. She lives behind her beloved telescope, with her head in the stars and her feet planted firmly on the ground. For as long as she can remember, she's also lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Scarlett.
But after a traumatic end to the school year, Sarah goes to Cape Cod for the summer with her family, determined to grow up. It's there that she meets gorgeous, older college boy Andrew. He sees her as the girl she wants to be. A girl like Scarlett. He thinks she's older, too—and she doesn't correct him.
For Sarah, it's a summer of firsts. Before she knows what's happened, one little lie has transformed into something real. And by the end of August, she might have to choose between falling in love, and finding herself.
Fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins are destined to fall for this romantic and heartfelt coming-of-age novel about how life and love are impossible to predict.

Between Us and the Moon, by Rebecca Maizel From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—Sarah has always been fine with living in the shadow of her sister, Scarlett, who has a larger-than-life persona. Between tracking the Comet Jolie and her boyfriend, Tucker, Sarah hardly notices that it is not exactly normal to be over-obsessed with science and to make handy lists for everything in one's life. She didn't even realize that Tucker has been spending less time with her. When he breaks up with her for one of the most popular girls in school, life seems unbearable. Sarah welcomes the opportunity to go with her family to Cape Cod and spend the summer with her Aunt Nancy. Here, she is determined to finally grow up, be more like her sisiter, and make her own choices. At the beach, while Sarah is channeling her "inner Scarlett," she meets Andrew, a gorgeous college boy. Soon, one little lie grows into a cacophony of problems. By the end of the summer, the protagonist is teetering between finding herself and falling in love. Maizel's writing is clear and concise, and has enough witty humor to keep pages turning. Readers will relate to Sarah and how her bad decisions lead to consequences that keep piling up around her. VERDICT With its themes of confidence and discovering one's true self, this summer romance is a great choice for teens.—Brittney Kosev, Dave Blair Elementary School, Farmers Branch, TX

From the Back Cover
It's easy to watch the world from afar. But to fall in love you have to live in it.
Ever since Sarah was born, she's lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Scarlett. A budding astronomer, Sarah's days are devoted to math club and the boy she's loved since kindergarten, Tucker. Her nights are spent observing the vast universe through her Stargazer 5020.
Then Tucker breaks Sarah's heart, and she goes to Cape Cod for the summer with her family, ready for something big in her life to change. She doesn't want to live in the shadows anymore. She wants to be someone who shines. Someone like Scarlett.
She doesn't expect to meet Andrew. Gorgeous, college boy Andrew. Andrew pulls Sarah out from behind her telescope. He sees the girl she wants to be.
For Sarah, it's a summer of firsts. A summer of blazing comets and shooting stars. Before she knows what's happened, one little lie has transformed into something real. And by the end of August, she might have to choose between falling in love and finding herself.

By Breanna & Lacey When I read this book in January, it was probably one of the hardest books I've ever had to write a review for. I can't recall the last time I felt so jerked around by a book, or the last time I was so genuinely conflicted about my feelings toward a book. How I felt was actually kind of ironic, because this book was actually sort of centered around conflict and being jerked around.Bean (or Sarah, as her birth certificate says) is silly and star-brained. She's literally obsessed with astronomy and her telescope, and she has been all her life. She has a best friend who loves it just as much, and they spend a lot of their time together looking up at the stars. The best part is that recently, he stopped being just her friend and became her boyfriend and as far as she's concerned, things are perfect. They hold hands, look at the stars, kiss, talk about the future, he knows her better than anyone else. It's great. For like, a few pages, at least, until he's acting all weird and says he needs to tell her something and I just knew it was about to blow up in her face but she had no idea.Of course, they're teenagers! Her boyfriend isn't wrong for wanting to break up with Bean. If anything, she's kind of part of the problem. She's too wrapped up in her comet observation to realize what's happening until it's way, way too late. The break up devastates her, though. And it infuriates her. She loses her boyfriend and her best friend in one fell swoop.There's more than just that going on in Bean's life, though. She also has a sister named Scarlett who's beautiful and graceful. She's got blonde hair, a nice body, and she's an absolutely phenomenal ballet dancer. She casts a hell of a shadow, and Bean feels like she's always trapped in it.The rift between the sisters was obvious to me almost immediately, but so was something else: Scarlett loves her little sister. She really, truly loves her so much that she pretends to be interested in the things that she likes, asks her questions about her hobbies, tells her the lame stuff she does is cool, and always puts forth effort to do things for her and spend time with her, even if some of them are tiny things that Bean doesn't notice. Unlike most older, spotlight-hogging sisters, I loved Scarlett and how much she adored Bean.Bean, however, does not see that Scarlett loves her. She's an awkward, socially inept, self-centered girl whose favorite thing to do is make assumptions. She assumes people think or feel things without asking them or giving them a chance to show themselves to her. She writes everyone off because she assumes they don't want to spend time with her and essentially lives in a self-made prison of isolation and loneliness. The weird thing, though? In spite of those things and the stupid stuff she spends this book doing, I really liked her.On top of her break up, it's time for the annual family trip to Cape Cod to stay with her rich, widowed Aunt Nancy. While her sister is out and about living her life, Bean is stuck inside without any opportunity to have one because, just like herself, her family assumes that she's going to stay the same and never wants to do anything new. The isolation, the weight of her breakup, and her bitterness toward her sister becomes too much, especially when she receives some infuriating news from home.In the spirit of true high school movies and the inspiration of being such a nerd, she decides to fix it the best way she knows how: science. Social science, to be exact. She steals her sisters clothes and little pieces of her personality to begin her "experiment", and parades around Cape Cod like one of the pretty, smart, interesting girls she wants so badly to be, in order to impress boys. Or maybe make friends. Or maybe even change her life? Or just to be noticed by her family. (The last one. It's the last one.)Her journey throughout this book is actually incredibly realistic, to the point that it literally makes me angry to even think back on it. I loved her most of the time, but sometimes I wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her like, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!" in an affectionate, big sister kind of way. I wanted to hug her and teach her about the world - but only after I shook her. Seriously, at least 1/3 of this book was spent wanting to shake her.Bean's deception doesn't stop at clothes and personality. She lies a lot. Especially to a particular boy she meets on her trip, Andrew. He's honestly such an ideal human being. He's sweet but genuine, funny, flawed, damaged, realistic. He was a dynamic, amazing character to read about and I adored everything about him. Honestly.I didn't support the couple, knowing what I knew, but I loved their interactions. Everything about this seemed effortless and natural, and he really got her, as much as he could.I loved the ending of this book. I won't go into details but it was absolutely perfect. It was unexpected but beautiful. There were no disgusting cliches, ignoring problems, no pretty pink ribbons tied around s***** things and calling them great.Between Us and the Moon was real, vibrant, and absolutely beautiful. I loved it.

[Bean] finds the confidence to showcase her nerdy side in BETWEEN US AND THE MOON By Teen Reads Sarah --- Bean to her friends and family --- is an aspiring astronomer and champion mathlete. She lives behind her beloved telescope, with her head in the stars and her feet planted firmly on the ground. For as long as she can remember, she's also lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Scarlett. But after a traumatic end to the school year, Sarah goes to Cape Cod for the summer with her family, determined to grow up. It's there that she meets gorgeous, older college boy Andrew. He sees her as the girl she wants to be. A girl like Scarlett. He thinks she's older, too --- and she doesn't correct him. For Sarah, it's a summer of firsts. Before she knows what's happened, one little lie has transformed into something real. And by the end of August, she might have to choose between falling in love and finding herself.The best part about a book is the personal connection one can build with the characters. We are immediately drawn to the character that exhibits similar characteristics to us only to realize later that the character displays characteristics we didn’t even realize we had. For me, that was the case with Bean in BETWEEN US AND THE MOON. Bean was a typical 16-year-old girl with her head in the clouds who suddenly crashed back down to earth over a summer. Although I haven’t crashed back down to earth yet (I like to think of it as a slow descent), Bean’s awkwardness and underlying hilarity resonated with me. However, throughout the book, Bean grows in ways we don’t expect her to when we first meet her. She finds parts of herself she didn’t know existed, something that I have begun to do as well. She finds the confidence to showcase her nerdy side as well as her confident and fierce side, which has inspired me to do the same.While books are often popular because they bring a sense of realism, they’re also appreciated because they bring about a sense of fantasy and mystique. Things happen in books that would never happen in real life. When was the last time you attended a school in Paris and found the love of your life? Or when was the last time you commanded a spaceship as a pre-teen? They provide a way to escape the mundane world for a little bit and experience things we would never be able to otherwise.The main reason I like BETWEEN US AND THE MOON is because of the way it balances realistic and fantastical aspects. There was a dose of reality in the way Bean’s character develops and it was very revealing to me, personally. However, the relationships Bean formed with others gives the book a whimsical twist, which I really enjoyed. Bean and Andrew’s relationship is something that could never happen in real life (a relationship with a boy will certainly not happen in my life), but it is fun to fantasize and imagine that it will happen. I like how this book made me forget about the world I live in and transported me to a magical land.SPOILER SECTIONI imagine a lot of people will have mixed feelings about how Bean lied about her age. Personally, I feel like she should have definitely put more thought into what she was doing. Andrew could have very well lost his job --- and jeopardized his entire career --- because of Bean. However, all characters have flaws, and Bean eventually realizes her mistake, which is the second best thing she could have done (aside from telling the truth in the beginning).The end. Oh my goodness. That was the most frustrating ending I have ever read. The whole time, we’re waiting for Bean to tell Andrew that she’s actually 16, not 18, and when she does, he runs away. RUNS. AWAY. That’s it! They have no interaction after that and we never get to see Andrew’s reaction after his initial shock (and what seemed to be disgust). And the eye contact they make a year later doesn’t count because that went nowhere, too. I may have thrown the book a few times in my frustration. But we’ve all done that, right?Reviewed by Pranshu A.

By Rhea @ Rhea's Neon Journal If I were to pitch Between Us and The Moon is one sentence it would be something like this: A summer romance filled with lies and stars.Sarah “Bean” Levin, scientist and stargazer, is sick of being in the shadow of her older sister Scarlett. After she’s dumped by her long time best friend turned boyfriend Tucker, she decides that she’s going to start working on The Scarlett Experiment—an attempt to observe how exactly her sister has all the boys wrapped around her finger. Sarah changes her clothes, her attitude, her speech and finds herself Andrew, the sweetest boy in Cape Cod, and finds the romance she wants.Except there’s one important thing she changes—her age.I didn’t agree with Sarah’s plan of lying to Andrew about her age. The constant lies and deception, and the absurd lengths she went to in order to keep the truth from coming out were off-putting and while I cheered for her and thought that she was one of the most real characters I’ve read all summer, I knew right away that she had a lot of growing up to do. She was enthusiastic about stars and the periodic table of elements and all things science, but I agreed that she had kind of set aside people and experiences and adventures and preferred to lock herself up all day to study or research. She was a follower, also, but we can’t possibly expect every person to be a natural born leader. What was more important to me, was that Sarah learnt from her mistakes and became a better person from them. Sarah was kind and trusting and of course, her summer love with Andrew was what I loved so, so much because I want me one of those Between Us and the Moon, by Rebecca Maizel
