Alexis Jefferson doesn’t want much for her sixteenth birthday—just an amazing party and a luxury car. With an unlimited budget and the help of her best friend, Lucky Lewis, Alexis is ready to make her wildest dreams come true. After making a series of bad choices, Alexis finds her party plans in jeopardy—unless she volunteers at a place she never imagined. It might not be so bad since it means seeing cutie Carter Summerville... To her surprise, the more time she spends helping others, the more Alexis starts to question the person she’s become and the people around her. With her birthday approaching fast, Alexis starts to wonder if maybe the best gift she can give herself is to get her life together.
I recently finished “Get It Together” by Chandra Sparks Splond and as a mom I enjoyed the way Noelle’s story unfolded. I could appreciate her growth. It is beautifully written and if you have ever discussed responsibility and discernment with your budding teens, you will find a place in your heart for this story as it unfolds. P.S. Mrs. Dot is an absolute gem, she is the catalyst for Noelle’s growth. God really used her to bless this young lady.
