Follow Caitlin O'Conner, a girl much like yourself, as she makes her way from New Year's to the first day of summer--surviving a challenging home life, changing friends, school pressures, an identity crisis and the uncertainties of "true love."
You'll cry with Caitlin as she experiences heartache, and cheer for her as she encounters a new reality in her life: God. See how rejection by one group can--incredibly--sometimes lead you to discover who you really are. 248 pages. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
In the fictional Diary of a Teenage Girl, sixteen-year-old Caitlin O'Conner reveals the inner workings of a girl caught between childhood and womanhood ... an empty life without Christ and a meaningful one with Him. Through Caitlin's candid journal entries we see her grapple with such universal teen issues as peer pressure, loyalty, conflict with parents, the longing for a boyfriend, and her own spirituality. Readers will laugh and cry with Caitlin as she struggles toward self-discovery and understanding God's plan for her life. And they'll be deeply moved by her surprising commitment regarding dating.

Oh man. I didn't even finish this book, but I'm in love with it! I've finished the Chloe books, and I just love how both Chloe and Caitlin start out pretty bitter, but halfway though they're completly changed! Doesn't God rock? He can change anybody and these books really made me realize that. I was really sad when Clay died though. I can't help thinking about my Youth Pastor and what he means to us. I don't know what I would do if we lost him... But I still love these books. They have brought me closer to God. Thank you Melody Carlson!

This book was AMAZING! I could really relate to Caitlin's life. I've faced many of the same temptations that she has, and gone on the journey that she took about finding out who I am and who God means for me to be. Reading this was almost like reading my own journal. I highly recommend it. It'll be hard to put down!

I loved this book and the whole series!!!!! I am soooo much like Caitlin and I've gone through similar things (except w/my family), so I could really relate to her. It has also led to my very quick speed at going through my journals...

Oh my gosh!! This is by far the best book I've ever read. I finished the whole thing in only a few days..(over a series of 2 days tho so I could sleep) I just could literally not put this book down. It really made me think about my own life because I could relate to basically everything in it. I can't wait to read the next ones!!!
