This actually felt a little more truer to Jennifer's age for the first time in this series. The first books had her feeling so very young sometimes. But here, as she gets closer to Heidi and starts to understand her attraction to a certain pair of brothers, she starts learning about herself. And she also starts figuring out just who she likes. .

Overall a good story without being overly preachy. Jennifer talks to God throughout, but you feel more like you're listening in as she talks to a friend rather than being given a not so subtle Bible lesson.

lmao! Read this whole series growing up and look what I'm reading now! 😂😅 The books were wild in the most WASP-ish way possible. I remember looking at this cover and thinking that they really must understand fashion and style in an entirely different way than I did because they looked uuugly! 😂😂😂 Oh the books that tried to help in brainwashing me....sorry it didn't work out!

I think it's very clever how it was written in prayers
