This may not be your typical YA Christian book because it touches on the reality of where some parents or Christians may not want their kids to tread! But in reality, it shows a realistic vantage point from the main teenage girl’s character, Christina DeRosa’s point of view; yet it also includes important teenage boys views as well! There are real teenage issues between Christina DeRosa and Avery Evans that is also shared among their friends and peers! Some issues may start younger than others but these issues do need to be bought up and discussed with your child!
This may be one you want to read with or before your teenager/young adult then open up for dialogue! Many topics are touched on, such as, sex, rape, abuse, bullying, alcohol use, drug use & many trials & tribulations one may or may not go through as a teenager!
Maria Hendrickson has made Christina DeRosa, Avery Evans and so many more characters relatable! I found this story very relatable growing up as a teenager in the 80’s!
It is just as relatable today as it was back then!
The best parts of this story is how a young teenager who once knew who God was or thought she knew what God was finds out who he really is! Christina finds out how even through the roughest and darkest moments comes light and hope! The Bible verses and story weaving throughout this story keeps you intrigued and really helps you sympathize with the characters! Really would like to read a follow up maybe exposing more of where the characters have continued to grow and more of some of the characters back stories and where they all end up in the future!
This is a story that shows teenage signs of adolescents, peer pressure, bullying, lies & survival! But not survival because they made it through, but survival because many of them learned more about God, more about how God wanted them to respect themselves, their bodies and others! The forgiveness that only God can bring us to and more! The love that God can teach us to triumph anything!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
