Summary: the diary of a teenage girl
Review: Caitlin O' Conner was a regular girl not popular and not unpopular. She had one friend and all she needed was one. She didn't see why you had to have alot of friends when you only needed one good friend. Her best friends name was beanie. She had one religion, as a christin, her family got along with each other fine, no relationships, one crush. Along with caitlin's normal life she was turning 16 and along with that came troubles. On her 16th birthday she had stasrted to become a part of the popular crowd, and from then on things went wrong, her friendship with beanie, her religion, her family life and BIG problems with boys, girls were getting pregnant, and she didn't know if she would have sex or not she was scared that it would effect her religion, friends, and family. The diary of a teenage girl was the best book I have ever read. this book had a huge impact on the way I see the world, or at least the part that I see everyday. The book changed my thoughts because I saw things a little bit different. Maybe it was because I am a teenager myself, and I can undersand some of the problems she had. I would highly recamond this book and expesially if you are a teenager. I guarentee you will see things in you'r environment differently. Like I said I am a teenager and it made a huge impact on me.

Summary: Diary of a Teenage Girl, becoming me
Review: Caitlin O'Conner is a young 16 year-old teenage girl much like any teenage girl you'd see on the street today. You'll follow her from New Year's Day to the end of the summer. She's a great example of what a teenage girl goes through every day. She'll explore dating, sports, and growing closer to God. She'll also find out that being 16 isn't as much of a joy ride as she thought. But, her biggest problem is her friends. She has to choose between one crown of new friends and another crowd of old friends. So, I challenge you to read this book and follow Caitlin through her life trials. I thought this book was the best book I've ever read. It was definitely a page-turner. I loved the way that the characters seemed so real, like my friends. Caitlin, for example, had many times been in bad situations and made wrong decisions but still went to God in the end. That shows that Christians aren't perfect at all. Her boyfriend, Josh, put her in bad situations and made her question God. They'd go to a party together and start drinking. He'd then become physically agressive. Also, when Caitlin's best friend, Beanie, was making bad choices, in the end she turned out okay. So, get this book, I guarantee that you'll love it too.

Summary: We couldn't keep the book closed
Review: Catelyn O'Connor is your typical teenage girl. She goes through regular teenage obstacles. She is torn between the all-powerful popular group and her best friend for life Beanie. She begins to experience what comes along with being popular. She struggles with the issues of having sex, drinking, and stabbing friends in the back. Along with the high school drama, her family is beginning to fall apart. With her dad gone a lot and her mother not communicating she begins to feel her whole life fall apart. Just when she felt suicide was the final straw, she begins to find God.
We both read this together and found that we could not keep the book closed. By the end of the book we felt one giant step closer to God and our faith. While reading her diary, it was like opening one of our own. We could actually step into the book and picture ourselves in each situation. We know that if you are religious, you will definitely enjoy this book. If you are searching for a faith and/or God, this book is a good beginning for you.

Summary: One of the Best Christian books I've read in a while........
Review: I am Christian, but I'm one of those types of Christians that doesn't read too much Christian fiction because the stuff I usually find are of the cheesy romance variety or the Left Behind books. I found "Diary of a Teenage Girl" at my local library. I finally decided to give it a try. Caitlin O'Conner at the beginning of the book starts out as a non-Christian who goes to church with her parents and her brother. After getting accepted into the popular clique at school, Caitlin's life seems to be on a high point, that is until she discovers her dad is having an extramarital affair. Caitlin's Aunt Stephie comes along to help out, and ulitimately takes the family with her to Faith Fellowship, where Caitlin starts to ask questions about religion, while at the same time her friend Jenny's boyfriend is hitting on her. In the end, Caitlin loses her "popular" status. But both she and Josh make decisions for Christ at the same time. After a botched romance, Cailtin decides to make a vow to stay a virgin until marriage, among other things (I'll not give the rest away) Then Caitlin faces more troubles that surprisingly help her walk with God. I can't wait to start the next book in the series.

Summary: review of a teenage girl
Review: I loved this book. I read it in a day, I just couldn't put it down. Caitlin dealt with things that girls face in real life every day. The situations were described perfectly and Caitlin's emotions and feelings were real. I could totally identify with her desire to be known and accepted and loved, even if it were for the wrong reasons. All of us have the desire to be loved by someone and noticed. The despair and pain she feels when she is rejected and used was totally gut-wrenching. So many times I have encountered these same situations in my short life and it's awesome that a writer has the talent to identify with so many young girls and get through to their hearts the way Melody Carlson did mine. But be warned, you just might cry!
