Mixed Bags (Carter House Girls, Book 1) CustomerReview
When I bought Mixed Bags, I paid absolutely nothing for it. Seeing that it was free for a limited time, I quickly welcomed it into my collection, not even bothering to read the book's description (Mostly because I felt that the offer would vanish right before my eyes, and I didn't want to waste any time reading said description. Did I mention it was FREE?!) Anywho, my feelings for this book are mixed. Sure, it was a good, quick read (And by "quick," I mean that you could finish it within a few hours.), but it wasn't exactly one to stand out either. To me, it was just an "okay" book, not very different from any other teen chick-lit book out there, with non-popular DJ battling popular mean-girl Taylor for the love of supposedly "cute" Conner. I guess the main thing about the book that irked me was that Conner told DJ early in the book that he liked her just the way she was, but then she IGNORED him anyway, changing her looks and interests to fit in better with her "prettier" roomates. And then she wondered why Conner was no longer interested in her. However, even though the main character aggravates me, I do think that the book holds a good message. It's definately one of those books that makes you wonder whether you're being the person you want to be, or the person others want you be. When I bought the book, I had no idea that it had a Christian theme to it. In fact, I didn't know that there was a Christian theme to it until the end of the book (Personally, I thought that the whole scene where DJ gave herself to God came out of nowhere, but I loved it just the same and thought that it was the perfect way to end the book. To make a not-so-long-story even shorter, I was pleasantly surprised with the ending.). I loved the message though. It really got me thinking about my own relationship with God. All in all, I thought Mixed Bags was a good book though, had it not been free, I probably wouldn't have bought it, being that it was so short (I just don't see a point in paying around .00 for something that I'll finish within a day.). But if you're looking for a short read with a good message, then this is the book for you. This is Kindle Obsession, signing off.
