review 1: These get better with each book, but I'm just not sure how I feel about these girls yet. DJ being friends with Conner's ex was a bit ridiculous, especially after it became clear she wanted Conner back. Girls just don't do that. The whole pill thing was interesting, though, mainly because it gave Casey some background. I wish the books would focus more on Kriti, someone who has barely been mentioned at all, instead of Taylor.
review 2: I feel like the back cover description is kind of deceiving. Sure, there was the homecoming queen thing, but I think the real focus of the story isn't even mentioned on the back cover. I also don't see the girls growing much closer, and I definitely don't remember anything paving the way for one girl to move closer to God.I'm so... more annoyed with this series. I don't really like it very much, I'm annoyed with the characters, annoyed with the writing, but I'm interested enough to want to see where it all goes. Which makes me want to read more. But I don't want to want to read more! Why must authors torment me so? I'm tired of all the manufactured drama, but somehow I find myself still caring about what happens. I do understand now how Melody Carlson can put out so many books so fast. The books aren't long, and there's not a lot to them. I'm not sure if I would recommend this series. On the one hand, I think teens and pre-teens might like the writing a lot, and be able to relate more to the characters, but on the other hand, I just don't think it's great writing. I'm torn! less
