1 out of 5 stars. I must be a part of the group of people who have misunderstood this book since I just didn't like it at all. I dunno, I mean the message of the book was good. And don't get me wrong I have read some Christian fiction books before and there were a few that I did like. But this one

rubbed me the wrong way I guess. I really can't stand "preachy" books and Daisy's parents were very "preachy". However, I will admit that I liked how Daisy dealt with her parents, and she was a good main character. I'm not to sure about her best friend Claire. I really think Daisy should have found a new best friend, since while I thought Daisy's parents were "preachy", Claire pushed her views onto Daisy too and I have never liked that about people. Side note -- I just have to say ... where can I order myself a Max?! ALSO -- she has a great "fairy godmother" of a boss, which after you read the explanation of him is kind of surprising. =0) On the other hand, when going to Amazon.com there were quite a few positive reviews on the book -- so those of you who are fans of Christian books might like and appreciate this book more so then I did.

Personally, I loved this book and read it in only a couple of days. It follows Daisy through her senior year of high school in a private Christian School. She grew up in a Christian home, with rather strict parents. Determined to attend prom, she'll do whatever it takes to breaks away from her

background and be a normal teenager with a real life. Even if it means having the wildest party ever, and ignoring her conscience...I really liked the ending. She ends up with the perfect prom date. I can't say who; but he is everything her Christian parents approve of.
