Publisher Description
Ever since high school, Katie Weldon has wondered what it would be like to be Rick Doyle’s girlfriend. As a college senior she’s about to find out. In the swirl of Katie’s upgraded dating life, she receives an unexplained bouquet, an unexpected call from her mother, an unprecedented girls’ night out with Christy, and an unhappy moment when her beloved car, Baby Hummer, takes its last wheeze. Rick's new roommate, Eli, complicates things by inviting Katie on a midnight jaunt to see a meteor shower. Under a canopy of stars Katie grasps a new view of the universe—out there as well as up close. As if she had nothing else to do, on a whim, she singlehandedly starts a fund-raising campaign for clean water for Africa. With Rick caught up in making plans for the future, how will Katie navigate her way through the remainder of her college career with no money, no transportation, no spare time and no idea what God is up to? On a Whim is the second book in the Katie Weldon Series.

"Love Robin Jones Gunn. Her books and characters have integrity and purity and I love that! This series and the ones associated are great for single gals holding out for Mr. Right, or to encourage young gals to wait on God's timing and direction in life. "

" this book... in my opinion... was much better than the first!! the first one was good but this one held my attention and I couldn't put it down!! :D "

" As I said, I love these books! My only complaint is that since the seris started, the characters have only aged 7 years and I have aged 21! What's up with that?!? "
— Krystal, 5/19/2013 -
" Robin Jones Gunn always has the best young adult / teen series. This series may even be better than the Christy Miller series. It is the book series that every Christy Miller fan has been waiting to read for a long time! "
— Alycia, 12/26/2012 -
" waste of time... so much so that i'm not even going to read the third book (and i never do that - abandon a series partway through) because it's so obvious to me what's going to happen. "

" Another great one by Gunn "
— Kristy, 8/28/2012 -
" This one drives you crazy if you don't like the whole, "I can't decided what to do with my life" thing. Really good ending though. "
— Kamara, 8/8/2012 -
" Great loved the book, not enjoying Rick so much seems to care just about his cafe and himself. "
— Guitargirl, 2/23/2012 -
" Nice to hear more about Katie, Rick, Christy & the gang. Reading from Katie's perspective is sure different from Christy's. "
— Diana, 2/18/2012 -

— Tara, 12/29/2011 -
" I thought this book was really good! I liked how Eli was in it more. I think Katie can be to demanding sometimes. I hope in the end she chooses Eli! :0) "

" This was a great book, and I for sure related to Katie since we were both RAs. However, she is probably less relatable for me than both Christy and Sierra. And speaking of, I want to hear more about Sierra! "
— Laura, 9/28/2011 -
" This book was seriously amazing!!! I couldn't put it down! Robin Jones Gunn's books are truly amazing, they help me in little ways but also in huge ways as well!! I can't wait for the next book to come out! "
