Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-10 00:00:00 Paul Richards I'm really interested in reading contemporary Christian fiction written for women and girls because: 1) I think it's a potentially neat genre with a pretty large audience. 2) Most of what exists is pretty low-quality in my critical opinion (the characters lack depth, the plots are so predictable that you KNOW every book WILL end with the heroine accepting Christ or learning to trust God with her life, getting married to an upstanding young man, and having AT LEAST one baby). 3) I like to toy with the idea of someday writing quality Christian literature myself. Anyway...I was intrigued by the book cover's description of Billerbeck as "one of the first Christian chick-lit authors," but I ended up pretty disappointed. She tried so hard for the chick-lit thing that the characters just seemed like self-absorbed airheads who happened to pray EVERY so often, and the Christian themes got lost in a lot of spa-going and boy-chasing. I really appreciate that Billerbeck is writing Christian fiction, and I'll probably read more by her, but will also continue my search for an author whose work lives up to my idea of what quality contemporary fiction with Christian themes COULD be.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-07 00:00:00 Robert Sanchez This is the 2nd book in a trilogy about 3 friends from Stanford that can't be more different. Poppy is a hippy chiropractor, Morgan is a wealthy socialite and Lilly is a struggling (up and coming) clothes designer. This particular book focuses on Morgan and her life with bits of Lilly thrown in since the first book was about her. While these are supposed to be Christian books it is very light on the religious overtones which is nice. I don't mind some references but some get heavy handed with the bible references and such. This is not one of those books. If you read these, read them in order. I read the first one and then the third one and so this one threw me off a little bit, but not much. They are just better read in order
