Miss Campbell's books just keep getting better and better. I loved this book. Reyna was a mess. She had me shouting at her ,in my head of course,come on don't be that stupid. Nobody is that stupid. I don't want to give the book away, but the saying is true God won't put more on us than we can bear because miss reyna went through some things. This book is a must read.

Really enjoyed reading about Reyna's struggle without feeling like I was being preached to. Sometimes in this life things do happen, but we can get past them. Inspiring.

Awesome book, awesome message. So many people struggle through the same scenarios. Really glad to see such a great ending. For a minute I thought Reyna was gonna lose it all.

Doin' Me
This was my first read by Wanda B. Campbell. This book was like a modern twist to the prodigal son, which kept me interested the entire away through. I will be reading more from this author.

Great ending, And I loved the church ladies gang! Thats all I can say. The main character was waaayyy ro naive and gullible for my tastes. She did grow finally near end though.

WOW
All I can say right now is, THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE!!!! I am already a huge fan of Wanda Campbell's writing: having read all of the Simone family series and anxiously awaiting the next one. But Doin Me is a breakthrough book for me and right on time. I fell out laughing and crying about Jewel and her gangsta crew. What got to me more was Reyna's testimony during group at the treatment center. POWERFUL!!!!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups-I did not want this book to finish--the cliff hanger even though Tyson is cool with the outcome, still would like to know the finial result. I hated to see Reyna go thru the hardship she did even though she was the "one" that you at first wanted to hate until you seen what she was going thru.

This book was okay. It wasn't the best but it was okay. The main character was too naive to be believable at times. I didn't like her that much, but I enjoyed the other characters. In the end, I understood why it took so long for the main character to change and become a better person. Everyone has to have a breakdown to realize who was really there in the end.

Another great story from another great Christian Fiction Author. Apparently there is a part one, and I will have to check my garage to see if I've already read it, or check it out from the Library. Wonderful story.
