I have to admit, I love curling up with some good chick-lit And these definitely qualify. The It's All About Us series follows five rich teenage girls through boarding school life in six books: It's All About Us, The Fruit Of My Lipstick, Be Strong and Curvaceous, Who Made You a Princess?, Tidings of Great Boys and the Chic Shall Inherit The Earth. Despite the slightly shallow sounding titles, all these girls are either Christian, or become Christian. And the plot isn't as mundane as you would think. There's an attempted Columbine, a disinherited almost princess, and a fiery Scottish temper or two! Also this series contains one of my all time favorite characters, Carly Aragorn. Seriously. She kicks butt. So if you're looking for something fun to read, these are great. If you're looking for spiritual instruction, look elsewhere. I can't help wishing these girls had higher morals. And if they spent more time with God, well, they (and us) might pick up a bit more. But overall, they're exciting, a good alternative to secular books, the characters are loveable, and you can't help secretly wishing you went to Spencer Academy with all the celebrities and fashionistas.
