She thought this was where God wanted her, but how can God use her—and love her—when everything is falling apart? Especially when it comes to her boyfriend, Rick. Katie turns to the women in her life for solace, including Christy. In the safety of their love and encouragement she finally allows herself to spill her heart about her relationship with Rick. But even their advice can’t postpone the decision Katie must face, a decision that will define who she is and the woman she’s becoming.

I adore Katie. Maybe even more than Christy, which is why I was happy when this book was first released but it didn't quite live up to my expectations---which were high. To be honest I am disappointed that Katie is with Rick. I feel as though this relationship is forced and drawn out too mich. many of Gunn's points about relationships could have been made much sooner, but instead of growing Katie seems to be reverting back to her high school self. Her complaints are always the same making theI really am beginning to like this book. First and foremost Katie has an "almost boyfriend". I have been in that situation before, and can totally relate there. When getting into a book about a character you have met before from someone else's perspective, it is hard to get into their skin at first, but somehow I was able to relate enough, that the transition wasn't to hard. Second, I still get to "see" all my other favorite characters (from previous series; namely Christy, Todd, Rick, Tracey,
This book left me with a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart that I haven't felt after reading a book since I was about 13.I started reading The Christy Miller series when I was in 7th grade. Christy Miller and the gang got me through my awkward tween years, and I can remember crying as I read the last few pages of "I Promise," because of what was happening in the book, but also because I knew it was the end of the series. At the time, Robin Jones Gunn had decided not to write any more about Christy
This is a YA Christian book. It was a really easy read. A bit too pure and innocent for my taste, but I did enjoy it enough that I will probably read the other books she has written. Although some more heat and less goody-goody theme would have been enjoyable, it fits perfectly for the fan base I'm sure the author was going for.
Robin Jones Gunn is one of my favorite inspirational authors. This series is somewhat of a continuation of the Christy Miller, Sierra Jensen, & Christy & Todd: the college years series. It's full of the fun, crazy, stressful, romantic times Katie has as a college student. Robin's characters are endearing, encouraging, & inspire me to think about my own walk with God in this life He has blessed me with.
I was so excited to see that Robin Jones Gunn has continued the story of Christy and the gang! I have to admit that I was only reading this book because I wanted more of Christy and Todd, but after reading this, I have to say I'm really looking forward to seeing what's going to happen in the story of Katie and Rick.
Squeaky clean Christian romance I would happily recommend to a teenager, but way too drawn out and cheesy for me.
