"I love Melody Carlson because she doesn't force her characters to be more than they are - nobody gets converted in the eleventh hour - she admits that there are issues that aren't black and white - and I can pick up one of her books, knowing that I'll be entertained and not preached at. "

“This witty title will appeal to young female readers and those who enjoy Kristin Billerbeck’s Ashley Stockingdale series.”
— Library Journal“A winsome tale of friendship with a dash of holiday madness. Delightful!”
— Robin Jones Gunn, bestselling author of the Christy Miller series and the Katie Weldon series“This fun romp with the Bloomberg Place girls has it all—snappy dialogue, complex relationships, and a fantastically diverse cast of characters that kept me reading nonstop!”
— Camy Tang, author of Only Uni and Single Sashimi“Entertaining…The author has a true sense for writing about women in their twenties.”
— RT Book Reviews" Part of a series about four young women who share a home. Each has her own quirks, hangups and problems. They begin as housemates but end up as friends. I'm looking forward to the third book, Spring Broke. B. "
— Barb, 2/17/2014" This one wasn't as good as the first book. Found myself skimming over some of the pages, and just wanting to get through the story to see how it would end. "
— Julie, 2/6/2014" Another easy read...lighthearted, for the most part. "
— Kimberly, 1/20/2014" Liked this better than the first book because of the setting. I love Christmas time and even though it is hectic it is great to look at the celebration through different eyes. These four girls may need a therapist, maybe they should add a 5th housemate. LOL "
— Julie, 12/17/2013" This is the second book in a series about four roommates. "
— Mandi, 12/12/2013" This is a pretty cute series. I like it enough to finish the series. It's not one I'd put on my best reads list, but entertaining and cute. "
— Heidi, 11/28/2013" I guess I didn't realize this was Christian chick-lit. I got the first book for free and had to keep reading the others. The religious part was a little much (mostly in the next two of her books), but overall it was a good story. "
— Tanya, 11/26/2013" number 2 in her Christian series. Still decent but a little bit preachy (well it is a Christian book). "
— Dana, 11/1/2013" I love these books. Kendall, Megan, Anna and Lelani are just great girls to read about. They have their ups and downs just like the rest of us. "
— Amber, 10/10/2013" I love Melody Carlson because she doesn't force her characters to be more than they are - nobody gets converted in the eleventh hour - she admits that there are issues that aren't black and white - and I can pick up one of her books, knowing that I'll be entertained and not preached at.

— Jennifer, 1/19/2013" Oh my suck. Maybe it is me but what is with any hack thinking they can write about a group of girls, friendship in varying amounts, and boy trouble and make a good novel? "
— Mary, 12/28/2012" Quick, fun book. Not the most enthralling, but light hearted and easy reading for those in between books. "
— Holly, 12/24/2012" i would give it two and a half but it ended really well and i actually want to keep reading and find out what happens to lalani and kendal :) curiosity strikes "
— Eden, 11/25/2012" uplifting book 2 about 4, 20 something women who live together. I like how "trusting God" is woven through the book. "
— stacie, 5/1/2012" I've come to the conclusion that this won't be the most exciting series in the world, but it's a fun, feel-good story. I liked this book better than the first of the series. It had much more of a plot since the characters are now all introduced. "
— Kyleigh, 8/27/2011" Well written but a bit predictable. Wished it were a little longer so the characters could have been developed even more. Seems as if the author addressed many of the issues facing women in their mid 20's-mid 30's in current times. "
