Departures


I remember reading about Christy Miller when I was younger. So when Waterbrook Multnomah offered this book in their book reviews, I jumped at the chance to read it.

Both Christy and Sierra are learning about relationships. Christy has just graduated high school in California and is visiting family in Wisconsin, where she grew up. She meets up with an old friend, one that she had a crush on as a kid. Christy learns how to tell the difference between a crush and a lasting relationship. Sierra is still fifteen; she is spending her summer with some friends at a lake in Montana. She sees another side to Tim,  a boy that she has known for a while, and wonders if she should try and pursue a relationship with him. While trying to understand the feelings she has for Tim, her friend Jana begins flirting with him. 

I really enjoyed both stories and I look forward to my daughter reading more books from Robin Jones Gunn. She is an excellent author, one that I would recommend to tweens, teens, and young adult girls.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Please rate my review! Thanks
