"You always have a choice between doing the thing that's going to help you or doing the same thing you've been doing that makes you miserable." Last summer I read BOYFRIENDS, BURRITOS & AN OCEAN OF TROUBLE which was the second book in the real life companion novel series. That one dealt with an abusive relationship, and an overbearing mother. While this book deals with ADHD, Bipolar, and a parent who is suddenly around for the first time.We have Jess who is a 16-year-old who is dealing withProbably the best juvenile Christian fiction I have read in a long time. The lively voice of the ADHD heroine is strong and realistic. We can understand both her frustrations with her inability to control herself and her friends enjoyment of her bubbly, spontaneous personality. The spiritual message is also strong and fully integrated in the story as the father she has never known has come to Christ and tries to give her a stable, disciplined home she needs. He has his own demons, as has Jessie
Overreacting and Preaching galore 2.5 starsSo much of this book had me saying to myself "NO ONE CARES." or "IT ISN'T A BIG DEAL." Plus I was not expecting the abundance of preaching and Bible bits, ugh. Honestly the main character has her head up her ass for the majority of this book. Annoying. Also the bubblegummy terminology used repetitively is also cringeworthy and annoying. Hmm.
The Real Life series by Nancy Rue is four books written for teens. The books are about four completely different teen girls who each find Christ during a difficult time in their lives. The girls never meet in the books and the only thing they have in common is a book that each found when they needed guidance the most. Or the book found them. The books are Motorcycles, Sushi and One Strange Book, Boyfriends, Burritos & an Ocean of Trouble, Tournaments, Cocoa and One Wrong Move, and Limos,
This was a Christian YA book. It was very much about finding God and yourself. There is nothing negative about that, but it was not what I was looking for. I could not get into the mind of the ADHD 15 year old girl and feel comfortable there or even want to continue from her point of view. It was very well written and did a good job of helping you see what things were like for her, but it wasn't for me.
This book is amazing! I love it!Before I started this book I thought it was going to be a chick-lit, but of course it wasn't. I am blown away and utterly surprised by how emotional I got while reading, as well as how much I love all the characters. The main character Jessie was hilarious and Nancy Rue wrote her really well. Watching Jess and her father grow closer as well as her kinda romance was amazing. I am so happy I want to buy this book right now. There is only one thing in the book that
I picked this book up at the library, and was not able to put it down! Nancy Rue does an astounding job of developing the plot and the characters. A must-read!This book focuses on Jessie Hatcher, a fifteen-year-old girl whose idea of normal is dealing with her ADHD 24/7. Jessie's mom, having bipolar disorder, isn't much of a help. When Jessie's dad contacts her, she is surprised, since she had always been told that he was dead. After her mom is rushed to the hospital for a drug overdose (good
