Summary

Maggie blames her mom for the family's disintegration. "She’s driven him away with her constant nagging and complaining and arguing. Honestly, who could stand to live with that woman?" she vents to her friend Claire.

However, there's more to the story, and Maggie desperately wants to know the truth--something nobody seems willing to tell her.

The eighth book in the TrueColors teen fiction series, Bitter Rose takes an honest look at divorce, forgiveness, and relationships.


Review

Plot: Maggie has always been closer to her dad than her mom. Especially for the last couple months. Her mom has been nagging constantly and always in a bad mood. Especially with her dad! So when her dad decides to move out for good, Maggie is angry with her mom. How could she do this to their family? But throughout the length of the book she figures out that maybe she was wrong about everything.
 
Character: Maggie- She has a very strong personality. She wants a job so she goes out and gets one. She goes after a boy much older than her and she's not afraid of much. But even under her tough exterior you can see that her family's split has caused her to feel pain.
 
Cover: It's the same basic cover as the others in this series, matching the color in it's title.
 
Closing Thoughts: I think I'm going to give all these books in this series two out of four. They are really short reads and I enjoy reading them, but there's just nothing that stands out to me. It has good themes and I like how they all are very religious, though.
 
Where to find Melody Carlson:
Sweet Daydreams,
Brooke

Q: What is the one ARC you would love to get your hands on right now? A: That's so hard! I have to say that probably Silence (Hush, Hush #3) by Becca Fitzpatrick is the one I want the most. I haven't even gotten the chance to read Crescendo yet, but I loved Hush, Hush and am hooked into this series. The covers, the writing, the characters, the plot...everything! I would love to have this ARC! Q: Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).   A: I would have to say that the Twilight Saga is what influenced my life. I read the series around three years ago before the movies came out. During that time, my family was going through so much and it was hard to handle it. I didn't have that much support to go to and I was confused as to my position and my health. I got hooked to Twilight bec...

Q: Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles! If you can’t find any, feel free to find one on the internet! A: I'll stay true and look at my bookshelf. I don't have any crazy titles, but one that I got for my birthday is The Element Encyclopedia of Vampires: An A-Z of the Undead by Theresa Cheung . My sister bought it for me since she said this is "exactly" what I needed. Q: How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently? A: I love romance! I think that I'm a hopeless romantic, so I NEED romance. I can't get into a book if it has absolutely no romance. I've always been into urban fantasy, romance, and Young Adult, but I think I'm getting into more historical fiction. Q: Author Block Party: If you could gather a handful of authors to hang out with, who would you ...
