My Review:
Even though I missed book 1 in the series, Me, Just Different, I loved reading book 2, Out With the In Crowd. I loved Skylar’s story, reading about her trying to reinvent herself and live for God, so I was happy to learn that book 3, So Over It, was releasing and I jumped on the chance to review it. I was not disappointed!
So Over It picks up where Out With The In Crowd left off. Stephanie Morrill has once again used Skylar’s life and story to draw young readers into the story. Skylar’s final part of her story is, again, filled with humor, faith, hope and a powerful message from God in forgiveness, especially forgiving yourself. It’s perfect for teen girls.
Skylar’s trying to leave her old life and old boyfriend behind, along with the gossip and old friends and live a life that God wants her to live, but she’s not sure she can get over the past and forgive anyone, especially herself, so she can live for God. I struggled a lot in high school with the forgiveness issue, much like Skylar, and I wish Stephanie Morrill would have had these books out all those years ago. I really felt that Skylar was a true friend by the end.
Though I hated saying goodbye to Skylar, Abbie, Conner and all the other wonderful characters, and hated seeing the reinvention come to an end, I highly recommend this book, as well as the first two, to everyone, young girls and adults alike. This book is a 5 star YA book with a perfect message within for all those teens in High School and beginning college. I can’t wait for more books by Stephanie Morrill in the future!
