Book Title: My Name is Chloe
Author: Melody Carlson
Publish Date: January 10, 2003
Genre: Young Adult Christian Fiction
Series Name: Diary of a Teenage Girl: Chloe (#1)
Plot (from Goodreads): Chloe, Josh Miller's younger sister, is a free spirit with funky clothes and dramatic hair. She struggles with her own identity, classmates, parents, boys, and -- her biggest question -- whether or not God is for real. But this unconventional high school freshman definitely doesn't hold back when she meets Him in a big, personal way. Refusing to change her image to fit into the "stereotypical Christian preppy mold," Chloe expresses God's love and grace through the girl band she forms, Redemption. In her development as a musician and performer, tender-hearted Chloe will learn tough lessons about following God, her heart, and her dreams.
Why I Read this Book: I found this series at my local Goodwill and they looked really interesting.
Review
My favorite part about this book is that I learned more about God while reading it. Chloe, although a new Christian, has wonderful incites about God and His love. For more about this, read my post on my other blog, God Speaks Through Everyday Things.
The writing style for this book was very simple and plain. There were some really slow parts in the book and there did not seem to be a strong central plot. The book is written as a series of diary entries in which Chloe tells about what is happening in her life. The plot seemed to be the act of Chloe discovering what it means to be a Christian and to have a relationship with God.
I do plan on continuing with this series. I think that it is intended that the reader reads the Diary of a Teenage Girl: Caitlin series before the Chloe series, so I think I will read the first Chloe book next and continue from there.
