Oh, the cheesiness of this book. Honestly just reading the back of this book clued me in to the fact that it would be artificially sad and sweet and cheesy. Ok, I hope that doesn't sound too harsh. I'm sure there are people who like these kinds of books and that's great. I'm just not one of them.
One example of what I'm talking about is when they address each other as "girlfriend." And it's not even when they are being silly or happy.

Homework Book #2. This is book two in a three book series, so I jumped into the story in the middle, though I feel the author did a good job of filling in a reader like me with the pertinent details as quickly and painlessly as possible. The way the main characters interacted with each other gave me some good ideas for how some of my own characters should interact. Though my eighth grade characters are younger than these high school juniors, I think the concepts track nicely. I should have antic

Angels in Pink: Raina's Story wasn't really interesting. I would consider it a boring book. In this book...Raina finds out that she has a sister her mother never told her about. Her sister was adopted by a family in another state and her name is Emma. Emma is in an urgent need of a bone marrow transplant, and luckily Raina matches them perfectly. Raina does the transplant and her sister ends up getting married in the hospital. I think this book is boring because I think the author put events tha

"Angels in Pink: Raina's Story" is one of three books in the Angels in Pink Series, but before reading this book, i did not know that it was a series. After seeing this book in the store and reading the blurb, it looked pretty good, so i decided to go ahead and read it. The story revolves around three best friends: Kathleen, Holly and Raina who all attend the same school and also are part of the Pink Angels volunteer program at their local hospital. The book details each girl's specifi

I'm embarrassed I have to put this on my good reads list! haha! (its for a class) I have to hand it to Lurlene--she can write to the pulling of heartstrings! very emotionally targeted writing. Meant for girls. I didn't like it that much. Kind of like a soap opera series.

This book was a romantice and heart warming story. It was great to read firendships that would last. Relationships that they say would last forver and be married and so much more. I would say this book is for someone who loves to read strong bonds friendships and love.

RAINA'S STORY still goes inside the lives of the three friends from the first book (Kathleen, Raina, and Holly), but the main focus is on Raina St. James. RAINA'S STORY explores the relationship between Raina and her mother, her boyfriend Hunter, and Raina's lack of faith.
Everything is going good in Raina's life, until an old boyfriend shows up at her school and threatens to turn everything around. While she's worried about what might happen with him, she throws herself into her volunteer More...

This was an AMAZING book. I loved how it was about volunteering. Lurlene McDaniel is a great writer.
