Burning Moon by Jo Watson is a heartwarming chick lit that reminds me of Bridget Jones Diary meets Eat, Pray, Love. In this emotional and heartfelt tale, Ms. Watson takes her readers on a raw, vulnerable journey of a young twenty-something woman discovering that her life is not over and it’s only just beginning.




For Lily Swanson, her picture perfect life and dream came to abrupt halt when the man she thought she was gonna spend the rest of her life with informs her via a note that he’s sorry and can’t marry her on the day of her wedding day. With no explanation at all, Lily is beyond humiliated and embarrassed that she was left to pick up the pieces while Michael is nowhere to be found. So what does any jilted bride do, she puts on her big girl panties and goes on her honeymoon to Thailand alone. From there, begins a whole new journey for Lily as she discovers that life, love, hope, and second chances are within her grasp when she meets a fellow stranger who sparked and breathed new life into her. Will Lily Swanson discover that her dreams of happily ever after is not over and that she just needed to rewrite her story?

Burning Moon is a perfect example of a story that explores all the trials and tribulations of life. We all have that moment where we just want to cry and breakdown. And so Jo Watson allowed her readers to see that vulnerable side in Lily as she tries to pick up the pieces in her life. Yes, this book had a romantic undertone with the insertion of Damien into the storyline but what I love about this book that it was not the main focus. The main focus was Lily and her growth as an individual and Ms. Watson did a tremendous job shedding and stripping Lily as her insecurity and fears are laid bare for the readers to see. This allowed readers to understand and feel for Lily more than just as a jilted bride. Jo Watson did an incredibly job writing such a heartwarming and raw story. This book definitely took me on a journey of learning to let go and embrace what life has to offer. So if you are looking for a book that highlights the important lessons of life then I urge you to go on this journey with Lily as she reclaims back her happiness, life, and heart.
