I decided to read this book for review thinking it would be a good read for my daughter as she is getting older. I do enjoy reading young adult books at times, but I was very disappointed in this volume of books. The Sierra Jensen series has 12 books in all. Volume 1 consists of books 1-3.
Book 1: Only You, Sierra
Book 2: In Your Dreams
Book 3: Don't you WishI know that I am an adult/mother reviewing a young adult book and I am sure my review reflects my age, but I am a mother and I have to go on what I feel is a good read for my daughter. The Sierra Jensen series is not it. I found Sierra very immature and shallow. Some of the "excuses" she gives her parents and those in authority are dishonest which is definitely not something I would want my child to pick up on. The writer tries to portray Sierra as a strong and mature christian and with everything else I read I found those passages hard to swallow. Plus there were parts of the book that were just plain boring. I would not recommend this book to young readers.
I also want to note that before I began reading the series my 13 year old daughter started to read it. She read about 9 chapters and then quit. She found it boring and was disturbed by the way the Jensen family played along with grandma when she was confused and having memory lapses. I teach my children never to lie even if it makes someone else feel better a lie is a lie and she felt that their playing along with grandma was dishonest.
**I recieved an e-copy of this book from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review.
