My
personal Rating- 
This series just makes me so
tickled. It reminds me why I adore (Christian) contemporary YA books. I was so
excited to learn that the author self-published this fifth book as I really
enjoyed the prior books of the series and I can’t help but hope there will be
more books to come. (Pleeeaaasseee, dear author???) I would have preferred a more
faith content, but it did have a bit and was overall clean.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
