"This book (and the following ones in the series) were a key part of my personal growth during my pre-teen years. I'm not sure if it would still relate well to the young girls of modern society but I would definitely suggest it to any girl in the 5th-6th grade age range!"

— Emma, 10/4/2013" For a so-called Christian novel, Here's Lily sure does place a lot of emphasis on makeup and modeling and making yourself pretty. "
— Jen, 6/15/2013" It was a good book. "
— Emma, 6/12/2013" I liked it until the end - I think the author just went toofar to try and prove her point. She could have done it in a lot of other, more believeable ways. But God is throughout the book, so it's a good recommendation for anyone looking for a clean, realistic fiction with faith. "
— Trish, 5/31/2013" okay.sort of sad at the end. "
