I love this "TrueColors" series. While it may seem that everything gets wrapped up "in a neat little package" when the main character finds God, I still enjoy them tremendously. This one is my favorite, even though the "dangers of drinking" is sort of ridiculous. But the ending made me gasp and cry, and for that, I was able to forgive the alcohol preachiness.Oh my goodness. I'm surprised with myself, but this book made me BAWL. It was so sad, so sad... I think Meloday Carlson got better at writing, at least in skipping a book I've found out as much. Still have to read that fourth one... But this book is about alcoholics, can you believe. How could a book about alcoholics make me cry? Well it wasn't so much the drinking as what the consequences of drinking. So sad... And to make this book even better, there wasn't any boyfriend breaking-up that just
Aw. The ending was so unexpected. I put down the book right before where it said "My best friend died tonight" so when I picked it back up it was upside down and I sort of read that part and while I was flipping it right side up I'm thinking: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT DID NOT JUST SAY THAT! Anyways, so far, this is my favorite book in the series. But I still have like 7 more to go.
This book touches on Christianity and drinking. From Amber's point of view and I think it's a pretty good topic.
Good book, it shows the consequences of letting alcohol control you.
Issue: Teen alcohol consumptionSub issues: peer pressure, unexpected deathThe book starts and ends with the same words, so I'll make a note here that giving your full name at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is not the proper thing, as you are no longer anonymous.Amber Conrad, Pastor's daughter, has never done anything overly sketchy in her life. But at school, she catches the eye of someone she complimented, Claire. Claire draws Amber into her circle of friends, and rather than Amber influencing
This book is about a generally good girl who gets into some bad stuff. Amber went to church and she was the daughter of a preast so she was a straight A student. But she started hanging out with Claire who was a heavy drinker and the rest goes down hill from there. Simi, her best friend, trys to pull Amber out of her rut and things go awall. I'm not going to give away the ending but it has an unexpected twist at the end and it makes you think really hard about the choices you make and the ones
