Book Reviews of Becoming Me (Diary of a Teenage Girl: Caitlin, Book 1)
Book Review: The best diary I've ever read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Becoming Me is a dairy written by Melody Carlson from a teenager's point of view. The teenager's name is Caitlin O'Conner. She wonders what it would be like to hang out with the popular kids. And pretty soon she is hanging out with the popular kids, but it is different then she thought it would be. She starts running into a lot of problems. Her parent's relationship starts falling apart, and she gets pushed into things she doesn't want to do, like parties and drinking. She goes through many tough situations and in some of them she ends up learning her lesson the hard way. With all these tough situations going on she has no where to turn except God, who leads her through all the hardships of her life. It wasn't always easy. Sometimes she wondered if God was really there. But in the end she realized God worked in mysterious ways and works everything out in some way.
I thought this was a really good book! I think the author Melody Carlson did a great job using the right word choice, and describing the emotions a teenage girl might have. It was very encouraging to me reading how a teen just like me handled everyday problems with the help of God. And it wasn't easy for her all the time. It was a very realistic book, and I'm sure many teens could relate to Caitlin. It is almost like you know Caitlin as you read through her dairy. This book is a page turner and hard to put down. I think a lot of teen girls would enjoy this book. Also girls who want to know more about God should read this. I think overall it is a great book that many teen girls would enjoy and be able to relate to and learn from.
Summary of Becoming Me (Diary of a Teenage Girl: Caitlin, Book 1)
In the fictional Diary of a Teenage Girl, sixteen-year-old Caitlin O'Conner reveals the inner workings of a girl caught between childhood and womanhood ... an empty life without Christ and a meaningful one with Him. Through Caitlin's candid journal entries we see her grapple with such universal teen issues as peer pressure, loyalty, conflict with parents, the longing for a boyfriend, and her own spirituality.Follow Caitlin O'Conner, a girl much like yourself, as she makes her way from New Year's to the first day of summer -- surviving a challenging home life, changing friends, school pressures, an identity crisis, and the uncertainties of "true love."
You'll cry with Caitlin as she experiences heartache, and cheer for her as she encounters a new reality in her life: God. See how rejection by one group can -- incredibly -- sometimes lead you to discover who you really are...
