I'd also note that most of the time, guys like her and she either thinks they are cute [not wrong] or they try to get closer to her than she cares for. [they want to be more than friends and she doesn't.]Chandler wrote:You may not model yourself after a book character but other people might. What's more likely is that they'll gain ideas not specific models. I mean, how many people are in Jennie's situations? Not likely. Most teenaged girls are interested in guys. So it's possible that moving from guy to guy can be impressed as normal or whatever by reading the books. However, that alone probably isn't going to influence someone in that direction. It'd probably be one of several factors. If you don't see a problem with that, then it's no biggie.

Ummm, what's your definition of "hooking up"? I just need clarification, where I'm from that means something entirly different from what I think your saying.Chandler wrote:Careful... I do see your point.. She was comparing Nancy Drew, not her own writing.Jennifer Doyle wrote:"Trashier" . . . from Rachael who writes . . .*never mind*
Christian doesn't stop her from "hooking up" with a cute guy she sees. Think of book 4... I enjoyed the story... except the way she and her friend "had dibs" on the 2 hot guys by the pool.Jennifer Doyle wrote:They are about a Christian teen.
I love the Jenny McGrady Series, I'm also a fan of the connected series about her grandma, I can't remember what their called right now.
It's good to visit again... it's been a while!

The way that the secular world would describe "hooking up" does not occur in Jennie McGrady books, thank goodness.Jennifer Doyle wrote:"Hooking up" means kissing in that post. *doesn't think that's hooking up*
Weren't they just called the Helen Bradley Mysteries or something like that? I liked those too, though not as much. I think there were 4 of them.Lizzy wrote:I'm also a fan of the connected series about her grandma, I can't remember what their called right now.
I always wanted a grandpa like J.B. My grandmother remarried (well, twice now) and especially the first time I couldn't help but think that Jennie definitely got a cooler grandpa replacement than I did.
