First Date is the third book I've read by Krista McGee and it's really good! The first book I read by her, Right Where I Belong , was actually the third book with characters that appeared in her other books - which I didn't know before I read it. First Date is the first about those characters, the second one is Starring Me which I hope to read soon. Reading them out of order really didn't affect my enjoyment except that I knew what the final outcome was going to be - at least sort of, it's been awhile since I read Right Where I Belong so I didn't remember everything very clearly which was a good thing :)

Just like Right Where I Belong was loosely based on the biblical story of Ruth, First Date is loosely based on the biblical story of Esther. I love this! It makes you really connect with the story in a way you just don't otherwise. However, because the book was trying to draw similarities with Esther the story got a little silly at times, but nothing too ridiculous.

Many times this book had me laughing out loud, and not just the chuckling kind, which is always a great thing :)

Addy is such a great character! She's a girl every Christian girl should try to be like and I think that she's a great role model for them.

First Date is a book people of all ages would enjoy. I recommend it!

***I received a complimentary copy of this book to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book - which I have done.***

Cute, enjoyable read! A great YA book for both teens and adults looking for lovable characters, fun scenes and a super cute romance. I love that its about this girl who goes on a reality show; books that do that are always so much fun to me! Definitely going to have to check out more from this author!

Now I'm a religious person but this book really pushed its beliefs on the readers and honestly, that's not the kind of book I want to read or share with my readers. Sadly, this book just wasn't for me.
