Review: Starring Me by Krista McGee

About The Book:

Kara McKormick is told she's auditioning to star in a new teen variety show. But it's what she isn't told that could change her life. The feisty New Yorker moves to sunny Orlando to participate in a month-long audition, where she'll live with nine other contestants and an eccentric housemother. Kara knows that the show already has a big-time celebrity lined up for the co-host, but she doesn't know who it is. Chad Beacon quickly rose to fame after winning America's Next Star, but he doesn't want his entire career to be about singing. There is so much more he wants to do-like act. The new variety show sounds like the perfect next step for him, but his parents want him to have a co-star who shares his faith since they'll be spending so much time together. Acting is high on Kara's priority list. But a relationship with God? Not so much. In fact, she's tried to stay away from anything religious. But God is after Kara's heart and He's put people in her life who are showing her there's far more to Christianity than rules and judgment. And just when it seems that Kara's going to have to give up her acting dream, God reveals that she may have a starring role after all-in a story so big only He could write it.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this book. Kara is so outgoing, and down to earth. She is hilarious and her humor had me laughing out loud many times. I loved the way she slowly came to Christ in this story. How she began to question and accept. Her journey of finding Him was wonderful to watch. I also liked the fact that though Chad was a star he didn't take it for granted and still wanted Christ as the focus of his life. This book was very clean and had plenty of spiritual content.

My Favorite Quote From This Book:

Flora turned to her. "God believes in you" .... 'God believes in me?' Kara spent the rest of the night trying to get that thought out of her mind.
