review 1: I think this was my favorite in the series by far. I love how all the characters have really fleshed out - except for Kriti. I really feel like I don't "know" her any better now than I did at the beginning of the series. But everyone else, especially Taylor, has really grown as a character. I am sad that the next book is the last one, as I don't know how the new revelations will be wrapped up so quickly.On another note, Conner and DJ's relationship is creepy. He is way too possessive of her, and I hope she dumps him in the last book.
review 2: MY REVIEW:Spring Breakdown is the 7th in Melody Carlson's Carter House Girls series. To be honest, had I realized it was that far along in the series, I probably would have started with the first and worked my way up. T... morehe book did not make me feel like I did not know what was going on, but I would have preferred getting a clearer picture of the characters.I always enjoy revisiting teen life via a good book. Reading about DJ and the other Carter House Girls adventures brought me back in that way. I liked that the girls were trying to do the right things and following their convictions with what they might wear whether at the beach or a dance and convictions against underage drinking. I wasn't crazy about the cattiness of the characters on all sides. I expected the "mean girl" to be generally portrayed as jerky, but it seemed a little stereotypical (spoiled little rich girl). I did not expect to see so much snarky and catty behavior from the characters who were talking the talk spiritually one moment and doing the slash and jab verbally later. However, all of this resolved itself in my mind, because of course we aren't perfect, and in the long run the good hearts were definitely showing through by the end. less
