All About Us

review 1: Review by Jill WilliamsonSince Lissa Mansfield’s director father is moving up to San Francisco for a project, Lissa decides to transfer to posh boarding school, Spencer Academy, for the next two years. Her number one goal is this: befriend the popular crowd ASAP and gain the interest of hottie, Callum McCloud. Unfortunately, Lissa’s new roommate is a Christian, just like Lissa. This should be a good thing, but Gilliam Chang is determined to keep Lissa in check every minute, which doesn’t exactly make her look very cool. And when things heat up with Callum, Lissa has to decide how far is too far. Will she consult God or her Christian friends on how to deal with her struggles, or rely on her own slightly skewed perspective?This was a great book. It realistically deals ... morewith the everyday pressure for girls to get a boyfriend and to keep him. I identified with Lissa’s struggles. I could see where she was coming from, even though it almost hurt to watch her make mistakes. Shelley Adina tells it like it is and her characters reflect that. They are honest, funny, sometimes shallow, and very realistic. Nicely done. Recommended.
review 2: This was my first "Christian fiction," and while it started off decently, the story ended too abruptly to have any closure. Lissa is a teen Christian who has to deal with her religious beliefs and the lifestyle she wants to lead. When the pressures of a demanding boyfriend and the schemes of a conniving classmate had built to a crescendo, the author leaves me hanging by simply ending the story. I wanted to see Lissa's revelation and understanding. Instead, it's like Lissa less
