In the 86 Bloomberg Place series, four diverse young women with varying levels of faith, differing interests, and unique personal issues share a four-bedroom bungalow in an energetic college town. In Spring Broke, Kendall’s housemates help her plan a garage sale to pay off her accumulated shopoholic debt. Megan is trying to decide whether to quit her job and pursue work more meaningful than designing wealthy people’s homes. Anna must battle her family’s condescending attitudes toward her Caucasian boyfriend, Edmond. And Lelani is trying to work up the nerve to go home to Maui, where her controlling parents are caring for her infant daughter. Lelani invites her roommates to come to Hawaii with her, but far from being a carefree spring vacation, the trip turns into an emotional opportunity for the housemates to confront their deeper fears and work through the most troubling aspects of their relationships—with surprising and rewarding outcomes.

"I am surprised how much I liked this book! I think it was tons better than the second in the series, and I'm looking forward to the fourth (and last) book to be released this fall.It was a fast moving plot line, and really set the reader up for the next book. Bring it on! "

" Actually, somewhat better than the previous two. Enjoyable light reading. "
— Carol, 12/10/2013" I liked the first book in this series, was so-so on the third, and hated this one! It was so heavy handed and cheesy. I can see where the last book is going, and I don't think I want to follow. "
— Ashley, 9/18/2013" #3 in the series. Until I started entering this series of books, I didn't realize how many Melody Carlson has written. "
— Jill, 5/18/2013" Easy 'fluff' read. Lots of dialog, quick read. The 4 roomies in their 20's, went to Maui. Been there 2x, love Maui. "
— Julie, 11/18/2012" I really enjoy this author and all the characters. Lelani's mother is a real piece of work. I thought my mother was bad! Lelani and the gang travel to Maui to see about getting Lelani's daughter back. "
— Jodi, 11/1/2012" I have been really surprised by this series in general. This book is probably my favorite in the series though. I feel like in this book everything comes together for the girls. I won't give anything away but this book is definitely worth reading. "
— Michelle, 1/20/2012" This is christian fiction chick-lit. It took too long to read for a fluff book. "
— Suzanne, 12/6/2011" A wonderful continuation of this series and I can't wait for book 4. "
— Jennifer, 11/11/2011" oh this series was PAINFUL! you know those books where all you can read is the words not the story ... the characters are so one dimensional and the storyline is laaame... yup i found some more. Don't recommend at all. "
— Emily, 9/5/2011" In typical chick lit fashion, this was a light read. However, it also lacked a lot of depth of the characters. For some reason I continue reading this series. The author manages to make me curious about the continuation of the "plot," but then I'm always disappointed with the next book. "
— Leslie, 7/28/2011" I like this one a lot better than the first two. Megan is becoming less judgmental and I'm beginning to really like Kendall as well. Looking forward to book 4. "
