Falling Up (Diary of a Teenage Girl: Kim, Book 3)

My 15 year old daughter loves these books. She started reading them a few years ago and has now finished Caitlyn 1-4, Chloe 1-5, and Kim 1-3. She's getting Kim 4 and Maya 1 for Christmas. She likes the way the characters are connected from one series to the next and she feels like she can relate to each of them. As a parent, I'm glad I found some books with a message and some food for thought. Hats off to Melody Carlson!

The whole, "Diary of a Teenage Girl:Kim" series are wonderful. I have enjoyed every second of all of them. I really recommend these books to every teenage girl. They are amaazzzingg.

This is the 3rd in Melody Carlson's "Kim" Diary of a Teenage Girl series. I must say that I'm a little bit dissapointed with how this book turned out. I found myself skipping through the pages a bit to get to the good parts. Basically, what happens, is that Kim's BFF, Nat, finds out she's pregnant...with Benjamin O'Conner's baby! Kim helps her through everything, and goes to the store and helps her get a pregnancy test and everything. Natalie's personality turns horrid as the weeks go by, and Kim is dissapointed in her desicion to get an abortion. Between her best friend, and all of the stress going on in her life, Kim isn't sure what to do. To relieve from all of the stress, she goes on vacation to visit her Grandma (this is where it got boring). It has a surprise ending, that made me happier with the book. I'd still read it, but it's not the best. Read the first 2 books and you won't be dissapointed! I'm sure that the next book will be much better. Can't wait!

I like Kim more and more in each book. She's had way too much to deal with and this book is a great reminder that our minds and bodies will only take so much stress before they start to shut down. I bought this book for my neice and I previewed it (as always). Kim is a great role model for the teenage girl.
