Shelby's Review: Mixed Bags (Carter House Girls #1) by Melody Carlson

The book I chose to read and respond to this month was the book called Mixed Bags by Melody Carlson. Melody Carlson has a style of writing that is different than most authors I have read, and I think that the originality of this story is a 5. The story is about a teenage girl named DJ who is living with her grandmother who enjoys fashion, and keeping up with the latest trends. Her grandmother thinks that fashion is more important than most aspects of teenage girls lives, and with that she invites 6 other girls to live at the house and study fashion. Each one of the girls has a different story to their lives, and together the girls including DJ must live together. The main focus of the book is on DJ and her life as a teenager. I really enjoyed the fact that although DJ was different than all the girls Carlson did a nice job creating a character thant most girls can relate with in their lives. Melody Carlson is one of my favorite authors. Although her books are not all popular, they appeal to certain teenagers that enjoy Christian fiction authors. I would recommend this story to any teenage girl who wants a funny and touching story about a girl who goes through troubles of life just like any other girl out there.
