Let me begin my review by saying that I am sure my rating and review of this book will be in the minority. I'm trying to be honest here, so please don't overreact and jump all over me. I am an avid Kingsbury reader, and I have read each and every one of her books. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Baxter series. However, this storyline of Cody and Bailey is really old and tiresome. Haven't we done all of this already? Bailey and Tim (check), Baily and Cody (check), Bailey and Brandon (check), Bailey and movies (check), Bailey and New York (check). I also had a strong sense of de jevu with Bailey and Brandon; it is just too much like Dayne and Katy. There's nothing new here folks; just more drama over the same old things. And too much drama over little things, like Cole's last year in little league. Part of the joy of watching your children grow is the excitement of the new; this book focuses too much on the loss of the old.
This Cody/Bailey storyline has been going on for years already. Now, I see that Karen's going to drag it our over four MORE books. Ugh. I'm really struggling to finish and I'm not sure I have it in me to read all four of them.

I have read all of the books in this series and I really want to finish it but I don't know if I can. These books have just become so sappy and unrealistic. She tries to introduce conflict and challenges into the character's lives but she makes them such unrealistically prefect people that it falls flat. Most problems are resolved within a few chapters, the characters rarely get angry or frustrated, and, if they do, they are over it in a few short paragraphs. Everything works out for these families; of course the Flannigan boys are the stars of their high school football team, of course Cole hits a grand slam home run in his last at bat in Little League, of course Bailey gets the part on Broadway. Mrs. Kingsbury has resorted to writing stories that, in my opinion, epitomize the worst in Christian fiction. She makes it seem as though if you are a Christian everything will come easily to you, problems and conflict, if they even exist, will be resolved in no time, and no one is ever cranky or has a bad day. This type of writing will not draw in non-Christians because they cannot relate to these unrealistic characters and, as a Christian, it makes me feel inadequate because I can't possibly live up to the Baxters and Flannigans. Mrs. Kingsbury needs to step it up and show that Christians aren't perfect and DO face real challenges in this life!
