Becoming Me by Melody Carlson

In the fictional Diary of a Teenage Girl, sixteen-year-old Caitlin O'Conner reveals the inner workings of a girl caught between childhood and womanhood ... an empty life without Christ and a meaningful one with Him. Through Caitlin's candid journal entries we see her grapple with such universal teen issues as peer pressure, loyalty, conflict with parents, the longing for a boyfriend, and her own spirituality. Readers will laugh and cry with Caitlin as she struggles toward self-discovery and understanding God's plan for her life. And they'll be deeply moved by her surprising commitment regarding dating.

I GIVE THIS BOOK: 5 Stars


MY THOUGHTS:
'Becoming Me' is a sweet novel that deals with many of the issues that face today's teenage girl.

At first I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy reading a novel written entirely as a diary, but I was pleasantly surprised! In some ways this style of writing is almost more enjoyable to read, because you don't have to wait very long to know what happens next. Also, the story seems to fly by!

I think that 'Becoming Me' is a novel that every teenage girl would enjoy. I highly recommend it!
