review 1: It was really good :3 A lot different than I thought it would be. I suggest the author change the names of her books to something more appealing. 'Boyfriends, Burritos, And An Ocean Full Of Trouble', doesn't sound like a novel about a teenage girl being abused and having to deal with the problems that come with it. It sounds more optomistic, frilly, and bubble-y. I almost didn't read it because of the title, but i'm glad I did.
review 2: Bryn Christopher is scared. Her father has just found out that her boyfriend has been abusing her for months, and is determined to press charges. Bryn just doesn’t know where to turn, especially when the threatening text messages and blog entries start appearing. How can she possibly testify when no one but her family belie... moreves her? Luckily, a surf-loving grandma, a really nice guy, and a very special book remind her that she’s a lot stronger than she thinks.I must admit, I had my doubts about this story. For one thing, it was a free Nook book which was the first red flag. For another, the Christian fiction genre doesn’t have the greatest reputation when it comes to quality. So, I was a little skeptical. Fortunately, the novel greatly exceeded my expectations. The narrator’s struggle with herself and those around her was so authentic. The conversation she has with Jesus through the RL book is one that is familiar for many of us, especially when we feel helpless and alone. Rue cleverly uses the concept behind Eugene H. Peterson’s The Message – converting scripture into a contemporary language that is most accessible to everyone of all ages. less
