"My Name is Chloe" by Melody Carlson

I have no idea where this story begins. It was well-written, absolutely, but I have NO idea who these people are. I don’t know Caitlin, Chloe, Josh, any of these people. I realize that this book is part of a series, but you’d think they would go into detail a little more, just in case the person reading the book isn’t reading the series from the beginning. I have read a few books-in-the-middle-of-series before and had it click for me.

I am a converted Christian (but I’m not going to go into that, this is not “delve into Harlequin’s religious beliefs,” it’s a book review). Therefore, I know what it’s like, and I know how much it changes someone to convert.

But Allie’s sudden “conversion” is… a little hard to comprehend. It’s like Mrs. Carlson was just looking for an easy fix, so all three members of Redemption could be Christians.

I’ll figure this out more if I ever end up reading the rest of the books in the series.

And by the way, the font TOTALLY threw me off. It was entirely typewriter font (the whole book!) and it’s something that should only have been used on little blurbs like, maybe, the songs (which, by the way, are juvenile. They sound like the stuff I wrote in grade school, especially the moldy Cheerios one. Or maybe something I could write now if I was incredibly bored).
