The Skin You're In by Nancy Rue

I am so sorry that this is so late!! I've been away this week without internet access (which I didn't realize was going to happen).
I enjoyed this book and the way that it was set out. I think that because it's an ongoing story that it will grab the attention of girls more than a book that might not appeal to how they feel about things :)

My Review:
I really enjoyed this book!
Fantastically written, and very gripping. I had trouble putting it down, & finished it very quickly.
I'll be recommending these to my Mum for my little sister :)
(side note: this book actually comes before 'Boyfriends, Burritos, & an Ocean of Trouble')

My Review:
Nancy Rue definitely has a talent for writing! I got sucked into this story, and wanted to keep reading even when I had to stop. Bryn is a strong girl, and becomes stronger throughout the book with the help of God. I loved that her grandmother wasn't who Bryn remembered, and therefore was able to help her. Preston disgusted me, and so did his friends.
I loved how the story ended :)
I'll definitely be recommending these
