The Perfect Girl: What Happens When You Get Everything You Want--And It Isn't Enough?

As a 50+ adult, I still enjoy reading good fiction written for children and teenagers. And after reading this book, I quickly ordered it and the next one in the series for my two teenage nieces. The books in the On Tour series are wholesome and enjoyable reading and will hold a teenager's attention. Although they are aimed primarily at readers in their early teens, I highly recommend them as gifts for any teenage girl (and for any grown girl that still enjoys teen fiction).

I read this book, and I thought, I have to read the next one! I read the second book too, The Back-up Singer, and I can't wait to get the others! These books are amazing! I can really relate being a teen with a band! I would really reccommend there books!

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS ADDICTIVE!Me and my friends all found that starting this book is addictive. You start reading and you can't put it down for anything. You can spend an entire day without even realizing it.Jenna Rose kinda flows through life, getting whatever she wants without much effort. Then she moves and is faced with who she really is! Can she let the people who want to get to know her see who she really is-- and then will they still want to be around her? Or should she compromise who she wants to be just to get in with the crowd that she wants to be in?Awesome start to what's going to be a great series!

What is 14-year-old Jenna Rose Brenley to do after moving to a new town and a new high school? With her father being the new pastor at a nearby church in Ohio, Jenna Rose is automatically given the title as `the perfect Christian girl,' when all she really wants is to be accepted as a normal teenage girl by the `in' crowd at Highland High. Moving into her new home, she is accompanied by a boy by the name of Parker Blevins who is helping the new family get settled in. She finds herself instantly attracted to the witty and very cute boy who is still a bit clueless of the flirting that is going on. Jenna finds herself going crazy trying to figure out why he hasn't made a move on her, or at least acknowledged that he is the least bit interested in her. After being invited to come with him to watch his band practice, she finds that his friends are well, different. Her struggle for popularity is getting harder by the day and Jenna finds herself willing to do anything to be accepted. After deciding to try out for the dance team, she meets Jamie Valentin, a jock, who is actually showing a lot of interest in her. Liking the attention, she begins flirting and making him struggle to just get her name. After a while it gets intense and she finds herself in an uncomfortable situation where she even a little scared. After pointing out her discomfort, Jamie agrees to leave her be but then threatens to do the unthinkable. Soon after that, rumors begin to spread and she is immediately made the laughing stock of the whole school. Though Parker's friend try to comfort her, she finds herself pushing them away because they are not exactly her type of friends, and she even finds herself taking her anger out on them. She is mad at God, her father, and even Parker and the rest of the group for absolutely no reason at all. After admitting her wrongs, accepting the group, and forgiving herself, she finds that she had had friends all along who had loved her and tried to make her feel welcome. She even finds herself wanting to grow into a stronger Christian and accepting the Lord as her savior.This is a wonderfully written book that I didn't want to put down. I found myself picturing the details that I found on every page. As I neared the end of the book, I was mad that it had to ever end. I laughed, I cried, and I could relate to all the problems each teen in this story faced. I am looking forward to reading more of this series and more from this author. I recommend this book to any teen who has ever questioned their relationship with God.

Every girl can relate to the feeling of wanting to "fit in." When Jenna moves to a new neighborhood, she, like so many of us before, finds herself feeling out of sorts and desperately desires to fit in with the popular crowd. She also feels an unknown sense of insecurity when the handsome Parker doesn't even seem attracted to her. She'd never had any trouble catching a guy's interest before. Has she lost her touch? Is her reign of popularity over? When she finally finds true friendship, will they be able to forgive her selfishness and accept her as one of them? I found myself wanting to push quickly through the book to find the answers and then realized that I didn't want the story to end at the same time. I can hardly wait to read the sequel!
