Resumen del Editor

From Sarah Dessen, the beloved New York Times best-selling author of Saint Anything and Just Listen, comes a new novel set in the world of wedding planning!

Is it really better to have loved and lost?

Louna's summer job is to help brides plan their perfect days, even though she stopped believing in happily ever after when her first love ended tragically. But charming girl-magnet Ambrose isn't about to be discouraged now that he's met the one he really wants. Maybe Louna's second chance is standing right in front of her.

Sarah Dessen's many fans will adore this latest novel, a richly satisfying, enormously entertaining story with humor, romance, and an ending that is so much more than happily ever after.

excellent as always

though I will always have a soft spot for her other novels "the truth about forever" and "this lullaby" this story did not disappoint. A lovely story, as always, from Sarah Dessen

Another fantastic Sarah Dessen Book!

I have all of Sarah Dessen's books, and they are all great. I'm a 50something man and completely enjoy listening to her books. They are great for buying on Audible because I find that I can listen to them again every couple years and it's great every time. Once and For all is fantastic.

Heartbreak in the midst of humor...

Sarah Dessen's return after Saint Anything is wonderful. I love books about wedding planners (I have a thing), so I was excited. This one was unique because Louna's still a teenager and able to give that perspective. Her story with Ethan was heartwrenching and perfectly intertwined with the "present day" plot. I think that her growth throughout the novel and the way she finally learns to grieve was well-written.

I did not like Ambrose. He essentially manipulates her so that she will have to go out with him. Instead of asking what happened with her former boyfriend, he assumes that it was nasty. He wasn't a horrible hero, but I didn't like how he tried to get her attention and his willingness to use others in his quest to ultimately "win" her.

I'm still giving this book four stars because the writing was good and overall the plot was too. You can't always like the heroes, because no one is perfect, not even in fiction.

Did Not Want This Story To End!

I really loved this book, and found it hard to stop listening. The story is about love, loss, hope, and second chances. Karissa Vacker's narrative of the story is outstanding, bringing depth and true emotion to all the characters involved. The delivery is very enjoyable, sprinkled with fun, tears, fear of loving deeply again, and learning to trust once again. Vacker's delivery is captivating and makes the story come alive. I think this is a book for all ages to enjoy. Sarah Dessen's book, Once and For All, is wonderful!
