Grasp On The Loose (Katie Parker Productions, #2) Originated By Jenny B. Jones Released As Text

really liked the first book in this series and previous reads by the author, but this one left me a bit flat, Too clever by half, some over the top scenarios and some pretty predictible characters, I found Katie's foster Grandmother especially over the top, where in the first book, she was just quirky, Ms Jones still occasionally got inside Katie's head, but overall I found it mildly enjoyable most of the time and too much in the rest, Not sure if I will go on to the next in the series unfortunately, I really enjoy reading the Katie Parker books, The way she narrates what she is thinking but doesn't always say it is so realistic and hilarious, This book about her evolving faith is interesting to watch and they way she describes her relationship or nonrelationship with God is more real than most would let on.
I like how Jenny B, Jones finished the book but still leaves me anticipating the next one,

This is a great book for teen girls and I liked it as well! So good! I cried at the end! Can't wait to read book! I will be so sad to say goodbye to Katie Parker and company : Another great read.
.

This was a great quick follow up to the life of a Katie the orphan, Cant wait for the next book to see what happens next, . . This is the second book in the series, Katie Parker starts to really care about her foster family, Millie, her foster mom, gets cancer, Katie feels left out when her foster family withhold information from her, She also gets to meet Amy, Hmm So, I had mixed feelings on these books, I read all three books on vacation at the beach, which was the perfect place to devour the series, They were sweet and fun, but I felt like they were ultimately a bit unfulfilling, I wanted a bit more they never really felt like emotional reads, even though all the elements were there, It also got a little cheesy or overthetop at times, And, honestly, I suspect I might have liked them more when I was an actual teenager, So, I ended up feeling mostly disconnected from them overall, Jones writes with warmth and humor, and I don't regret reading the series, But I think they were a bit forgettable for me, so I don't see myself really pushing them on anyone in the future,

sitelinkSee my full review on So Obsessed With! I mean, what can I say I love JBJ, I love Katie. I love Frances. And Nash. And Millie and James. And Maxine. Oh, Maxine!

I also thought the way Katie became a Christian was so niceit was easy and notoverwhelming,

There is more romance in this one but it was ageappropriate and not really the crux of the story,

Another happy trip to In Between! Six months into her stay with her foster parents, Katie Parker is finally adjusting to her new family, But when a tornado rips through the town of In Between, nothing is ever the same, When her foster mom, Millie, is diagnosed with cancer, Katie begins to doubt if God really does care, What will happen to Katie Could she possibly have to leave In Between and the family she's come to depend on Things spiral even further out of control when Katie juggles a malfunctioning best friend, Spring Break plans, and holding the attention of her own Prince Charming.
It's going to take more than a glass slipper and some fairy dust to fix Katie's problems, But will help come in time

POV: Katie main character

Positive/Spiritual Content: scripture quoted, Katie works through trust/faith issues praying, going to church, youth group, having Christian friends

Negative Content: wanting to kiss, can't remember if there' literal kissing or not, being attracted to the opposite sex, references to Victoria's Secret and some magazines although I do NOT endorse or support those I didn't have a problem with them being in the book,SPOILER Millie Katie's foster mom gets cancer.
Not sure if some people would be sensitive to that Also Trevor asks Katie to go to a party that involves alcohol, making out ewewewewe!!! and possibly some drugs.


Personal Opinions: Oh, My. Word. This book was awesome! It was soooo funny and I literally found myself laughing out loud even though everyone else was in bed!, Loved Frances Just loved that girl! I really enjoyed the theater/drama part of the book as well as the romance of course!, AHHHHHHH!!!!!You just HAVE to read this book! Thank you Jenny for being such an epic author! : I loved this book! I am obsessed with weather and the tornado started this book off right for me.
This book was very emotional and deserves many awards, Between Millie's cancer, Amy's return, Katie and Angel, and all the family stuff this book is emotional and I didn't see it coming, I can't wait to see how things go with Katie and Charlie in the next book, I don't know about you but I totally ship it, Anyone else I might reread this series again in the future, I recommend for ages. AMAZING!!!!!!!!! THERE'S NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS BOOK EXCEPT FOR AMAZING!!! I really enjoyed this one, It had been a while since I read book, but the characters were easily to reconnect with, and I jumped right back into Katie's chaotic and funny world.

Sure, it's a bit overthetop here and there, but I really didn't mind, I love Katie's foster family, and Charlie is adorable but frustrating like any high school boy, I really do appreciate the combination of maturity and total immaturity in these adolescent characters,
Another reminder of why I never dated in high school and would never, ever want to relive those years, Ha! I'm officially a fan of Jenny B, Jones. I read four of her book so far and

all four of her books were five star reads for me, They touch me. They really touch me. Somewhen while reading her books I start crying because the storyline gets to me, because what happens to the characters is so incredibly beautiful, I can imagine that for some people the talk about God and faith is simply too much, but the way Jenny B, Jones writes about it is just perfect for me,

Katie Parker is one of the most amazing characters I've ever encountered in a book, That's mostly because she's incredibly realistic, She's not some perfect angel, she's not free of mistakes, She does mess up at times, She does let her anger and other emotions get the better of me and it's also quite clear that the life she led did leave her with quite a few scars.
But that makes her so much fun to read about, She feels real.

In this book she goes through some amazing changes and she grows amazingly much as a person, Disaster has found her family and friends, bad things are happening to her at school and the school's most famous player has set his eyes on her.
Throughout the book I felt for her so much, but I also understood her struggles so well, And the moment she does realize that believing in God doesn't mean everything ends well or is solved is so beautifully written!

The plot of the book isn't even that complicated.
I think it's the normalcy of the plot that works so well, What happens to Katie, the issues she's dealing with, can happen to every teenage girl, no matter where they live and who they are, Normally I'm not a huge fan of contemporary teenage stories I'm pretty sure at some point this will turn into a romance!, but Jones captures the heart and soul of Katies life and personality and that makes it so beautiful!.
