This isn't how depression works. Speaking as someone who lived with depression for years before being diagnosed less than a year ago, you don't just 'get over it' and you certainly don't just kick it by magically finding new friends in school.

I get where the author was coming from, sort of, but honestly it was so frustrating. ( )

I'm kind of on the fence about this one. On the one hand, i was able to relate to Kara and understand why she reacted the way she did to Jordan's sudden popularity. On the other hand, i think anyone who couldn't relate would find Kara really annoying and whiny. Even i think it dragged on too long. The decisions of the characters were also not always believable. It was too simple. I think there could have been a lot more depth to the story.

This book is about losing a very close friend, and in the end Kara found trust and love in Jesus. I really liked this book and would definitely recommend it to my friends. 4Q4P The cover art is okay and I'd recommend this book to middle and high school students. BaileyW

I really, really like this series so far.. although this is just the first book. I even like how Mrs. Carlson had young Kara giving her life to Christ. ( )
