"Andrea and the 5-Day Challenge" by Cindy K. Green {Teen Week!}

{Welcome to Teen Week! Every quarter we're going to try and do a Teen Week! A week where every weekday has a new review of a Christian book written just for teens! You’re reading the last one of this quarter's! :) {Day 1 here!} {Day 2 here!} {Day 3 here!} {Day 4 here!} }

About this book:

  “Dear Lord,
I need Your help and sooner would be better than later. Wouldn't you know it, just as soon as I decide to attempt the 5-Day Bible Study Challenge, my parents start heaping on loads of pressure to get me into Julliard. My friend Amy isn’t any better, urging me to ask Luke Ryan to homecoming. As if the cute, transfer jock would actually go out with me. I mean, we’re kinda friends, and I’ve enjoyed our Geometry study sessions, but in case Amy hasn’t noticed, I’m the invisible one at Aubrey Christian Academy, and I like it that way. On top of that, I have a feeling Luke’s concealing something behind those chocolate-brown eyes of his. I know I can be self-centered and a bit melodramatic, but I really do want to seek Your will for my life. Then maybe I’ll even figure out which direction points up.

Sincerely, Andrea Jamison
High School Junior
Change-o-phobic & complete neurotic”

My personal Rating- 

Oh my goodness! This was so cute! I really liked all the Spiritual content in “Andrea’s 5-Day Challenge” and I laughed a lot! The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the Minor Cussing and the bit of romance/crushes. But truly, it all seemed believable to me. :)

This was such a great week! Thank you for joining on Teen Week! And just in case you missed them: {Day 1 here!} {Day 2 here!} {Day 3 here!} {Day 4 here!} And you’re reading Day 5! We’ll see y’all on Monday with another new review! :)
