This book a good read for the teen set. I won this book in a goodreads contest and couldn't wait to read it and review it. Here are some of the things I liked about the book: The main character, Cassidey, was believable. I liked that she was facing such adversity, but I felt like some of her relationships and anger at her friends was a little forced. I suppose that her experiences were true to life though, in that sometimes we all react badly to certain situations. In this case, she reacted
I received this book from Goodreads First Reads.When I entered to win this book, I didn't realize it was a Christian Fiction book. I usually don't like Christian fiction only because I find it super cheesy. But I read this book anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised! At first, I felt like the passages from RL were cheesy, but then I grew to like them. And the story was so good! I really enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would!
Nancy Rue's books are kinda weird. Like, every one of them makes me scratch my head. They generally have some good ideas and information, and the storytelling is good, but I don't always agree with all the conclusions and theology. She does a good job of making the characters really real and developed and have easily seen arcs, so that's always a plus and probably one of the reasons I like her books. I don't generally connect with her characters or relate to them, but I still find them
It was a good book overall with the struggle of Cassidy finding out who she really wanted to be. My one problem was with the way the book was having a conversation with her. it was strange and unnatural. It also distracted from the writing. If the book had just been helpful with stories and not weird "mind reading" powers I would have been more satisfied. But the message of the story was clear and it is a good read for young teens.This book was won through Goodreads First Reads
I am going to be upfront here, I don't read a lot of Christian teen fiction, so I don't have a lot to compare this book to. Cassidy is a high school basketball star, who injures herself and faces some tough choices when it comes to her recovery and her future. A mysterious book helps her make the right choices and get back on the right path. The writing is not particularly strong, and the author did a lot more telling than showing in her descriptions. In the first several pages, the author
Too much religion. Also can we talk about how the main character was basically drugged and no one did anything about it?
