Mixed Bags (Book 1 of The Carter House Girls series) by Melody Carlson

My Summary of this book:

This book is about a teenage girl, DJ Lane, who lives in with her Grandmother, a famous retired model. Her Grandmother turns her mansion into a boarding home for rich, fashionable girls who will learn to become young ladies. As the girls start moving in together as roomies, they soon find out that they have many differences. Such as, boyfriends, school, drugs and drinking, laughing, shopping, family issues, and living up to DJ's Grandmother's model standards, they eventually start to form friendships. In this book, the girls learn what it means to become friends, become enemies, how to keep good relationships. DJ may not become what her Grandmother has in mind for her or what the other girls think she should be, but she learns how to be herself in a more confident way.

My Rating For This Book:

9.0

My Reason for this Rating:

 I really liked this book., because it really describes what teenage girls have to deal with. It talks about what girls go through with their friends and family and with school and relationships and what not. I think that this book is really fun to read even if you aren't into the whole drama-fashion kind of thing.
