Love this author and struggled with this series. My favorite book in the series was the second book. There is a Christian theme to all the books and I think that is important to know going in because the author is providing lessons from religion. It was not because of the religious undertone though that I struggled with this book, I mention that so that readers who are not looking for a sermon of any kind are aware. What I struggled with were the challenging issues that were addressed and in general and shallow ways. It was an uplifting book, but also glossed over a lot. That is what makes it fiction and also what made it more of a passing on of life lessons than a relatable fictional story.
Good read
