Customer Reviews

Very Good book!!!!!!!

I truly enjoyed this story. It talks about the things that every girl deals with, but doesnt know what to do about. I have personally felt almost all the same feelings that Jacie felt. I think that every teen girl should read this book.

Christian+ family= great life!!!!!!!!!!

Are you ready to go into a romancey world where a guys first kiss is all that matters to you? Well guess what. this book would so totally not be for you. Are yoyu going to and meet God for the first time? then this would be perfect for you. This book is mostly about Becca, Solona, Hannah, Tyler, and Jamie. they are christian friends who have trouble in every day life. if it's trying to help at the outreach community center or spending time with your buds. They will help you realize how much they are just like you! read it! You won't be sorry!!!!!

The First "Brio Girls" Book

Lately, Jacie has been feeling as though she is failing at being a Christian. The new girl at school, Hannah, has strong beliefs in God, and she isn't afraid to share her beliefs with others. Where Jacie, on the other hand, gets tongue-tied every time she tries to witness. Not to mention that, as Hannah points out, Jacie is more focused on getting in to an expensive art conference than anything spiritual or Godly. Could anything possibly make Jacie even LESS focused on what she believes is right? Yes, and the answer is: the school "bad boy", who Jacie finds herself very attracted to. She eventually learns that he has a chip on his shoulder, and a grudge against God. But how can she help him if he is always turning her down every time she tries to talk about God? This was a fantastic book! I could relate to Jacie feeling as though God might not really be there, and understanding her feelings helped me to gain a lot from this book. It inspired me to do daily devotions, and to pray with more heart. Besides the entertaining storyline, the easy-to-relate-to part is why I rate this book "5 stars". The only thing that I didn't like about this book was that the characters were always teasing each other! Some of the sutff that they would say to each other was much more mean than funny. That made the "Brio Girls" seem less like friends some of the time. But other than that, this is a really good book! I recommend it to girls ages twelve to sixteen (the recommended age), since it had some parts that would be inappropriate for younger girls. Also, this is the first "Brio Girls" book. I think it would be a great place to start reading and get into the series, since newer books sometimes give away the ending to earlier ones.

Great book

I loved this book. It was great. Jacie and her friends belive in god. Well all, but Solana that is. Hannah a new girl is also a brio girl. She really belives in god and tries to incurage the other girls and Tyler to tell other people about their faith. Jacie feels kind of funny about this. She loves to paint. Jacie meets this bad-boy named Damine. Jacie does not tell anyone about him. They start to hang out together. Jacie really likes him. Well I don't want to tell you to much. You should read this book for yourself. I think you will really like this book.

A Good Book for Christian Teens

This book is about a teenager who is trying to adjust to her new life. Jacie is not sure what to think of the new girl, Hannah, who is a little strange. She is a good Christian...but maybe a little too good for Jacie. Meanwhile, Jacie is struggling with her art, trying to get into an art class...but is she good enough? And, how will she be able to witness to others if she freezes up every time she has the perfect oppurtunity. Will she live up to Hannah's expectations and get into the art class? And...what about her relationship with the "bad boy" at school? Read it and find out. Also read fast forward to normal. These books are great for girls ages 11-14 but older teens may enjoy something more complex like the Christy Miller series. Anyway, they are bothe good Christian series and I reccomend you to read them!!!
