Summary: It Will Be Torturous to Wait For Book 5!
Review: After a fairly "same-old, same-old" finish to her senior year, Caitlin O'Connor is off to college. Not too excited from the beginning about attending the state college instead of the small Christian ones her best friends are at, Caitlin is dismayed to find other disadvantages about college life. First of all, her room-mate, Liz, is far from ideal and when that's combined with a general lack of friends, Caitlin really feels like a "big fish in a little pond."

As always, Caitlin's diary is intersting, honest, and insightful. The new characters that we meet along the way add fresh interst to the story, yet Caitlin's old friends make appearances too. Sticking to her "non-dating for now" commitment is just as tricky as ever, yet Caitlin continues to inspire us with how she deals with dating. This book will keep you reading, and the unexpected event involving Caitlin and Josh will leave you aching for the sequel...

The books in the Diary of a Teenage Girl series are great examples of almost-perfect Christian books. Containing a main character we can all identify with and tackling issues that every Christian faces-this diary is a must-read.

Summary: On My Own
Review: This book is about a eighteen year old Christian girl named Caitlin O'Conner. This is the fourth book in the seris. Caitlin starts college in this book. She doesn't end up going to the college she wanted to, and her closest friends are (not to mention rooming with each other). Which creates her first problem. Jelousy. As a teenager I know that Jelousy is a
big problem for teenage girls. Not only does Caitlin have to deal with her friends being a couple hundred miles away and her not knowing anyone at her college, she ends up having to room with a non-christian girl who totally messes up Caitlins life, and treats her like dirt. On top of all that Caitlin `s best guy friend pretty much asks her to marry him. Caitlin goes through plenty of problems in this book...and even though I'm not in
college...I could relate to them, or atleast understand what she was going through. I think that this book is really good. Infact, I read it in a day! I would definetly recomend it to high school girls.
