review 1: Annie has a charmed life: she’s beautiful, graduated from high school with honors, has been accepted at the college of her choice, is surrounded by family and friends who love and support her, and has a handsome steady boyfriend. But one night, her perfect life is shattered and everything changes so quickly she’s not sure which way to turn. Caught between her boyfriend and his brother, both of whom claim to love her, Annie is torn as to who she should choose to be with while trying to heal from the event that altered her once easy life.Will she choose Tony or Dan? And will she finally truly come to know the One whose love will never fail, even in her darkest hour?What a powerful and moving debut from young adult author Michelle Sutton. Dealing with such topics as fal... morese Christians, pornography, peer pressure, alcohol abuse, and pressure to engage in sexual activities, It’s Not about Me meets teen readers right where they are, tackling issues that they come up against on a regular basis.This first book in Sutton’s A Second Glances Series, gets readers thinking, “What would I do in this situation?” This book’s strength definitely resides in its well-developed, strong, often complex characters whose personal battles and desire to do God’s will is as challenging as understanding the world around them. And while admittedly faith plays a significant role in this book, I wouldn’t say that the reader would need to be a Christian in order to enjoy reading It’s Not about Me. Most of the issues the characters are dealing with affect all teens, regardless of belief system.With It’s Not about Me, Sutton delivers an edgy and entertaining story that young adults will devour with zest.
review 2: Michelle Sutton is known as the Edgy Inspirational Author and BOY! is that not more true, then in It's Not About Me. Before, I hadn't read anything by Michelle, but now I am a full fledged Sutton fan! It's Not About Me is the story of Annie a teenage girl going through life pleasing everybody and trying not to cause any ripples. On one tragic night, Annie and everything she's ever known, is turned upside down. Now, while trying to piece things back together, Annie makes some life changing decisions. But, not everyone is happy about them.I LOVED It's Not About, because Michelle addresses the issues that many Christians today don't dare talk about. But, in today's society things like: pornography, (pre-marital) sex, and excessive drinking , are shoved in are faces and thought to be "okay" and "acceptable". Michelle not only brings these thing to center stage but, presents strong, biblical truths to counter them. And, ahhh the romance......*sigh*. Dan is what every girls wants but, he only has eyes for Annie. So sweet (and at times, pretty steamy). It's Not About Me is gripping, (in every sense of the word) romantic, and faith shacking. And though INAM is geared more towards the YA group, I feel that anyone, of any age, would love it. This book is definitely on my "keeper" self! Can't wait to read Michelle's next book, It's Not About Him!LOL;) less
