I didn’t really like this book. It get too busy and too cluttered. The characters weren’t likeable and it kinda felt like nothing happened?

An Arrow to the Moon is a beautiful story that holds up even if you’ve never heard of Romeo and Juliet.  In 1990’s America, in a quaint Northeastern town, Luna and Hunter live just a forest apart.  When at last they meet, everything changes in a flash of light.  As the world around them crumbles, Hunter and Luna are drawn to each other, hiding their bond from their feuding families.  Amidst the stress of college applications and difficult family dynamics, their tumble into love feels so natural, like it was destined to happen.  Woven with Chinese folklore and magical realism, this gorgeous tale will take your breath away.
