Deep Green Color me Jealous (True Colors Book 2) by Melody CarlsonI downloaded this book for free and thought that it might be a good book, at least at some point, for my daughter to read. I'm not sure I'd recommend it yet as it deals with some dating issues that I don't feel at 12 she needs to be reading about yet, but I will be holding on to it for the future.
In this book Jordan is struggling with friendships and boyfriends and figuring out who are true friends and who are just trying to stay friends with you to get close to other people. She's realizing that lots of teens like to play games and how jealousy can take over your life and cause lots of problems along the way. She also discovers that true friends are sometimes the ones that you push away from as you think you want to head a direction in your life. Yet they are also the ones that are still waiting when you realize you are headed down the wrong path.
This would be a great book to read and discuss with a teenage girl as they enter into the high school years. Full of topics that need to be discussed, and yet done in a way that they aren't reading about things in depth.
I'd give the book 4 stars.
