Product Description
The third book in the Katie Weldon Series takes Katie through her last semester in college. As Katie ponders life after graduation, she’s asking serious questions about her future. Will it be with Rick? And what about her growing friendship with Eli? And most important of all, is she really serious about her relationship with God?
From the Back Cover
In this third book in the Katie Weldon Series, Katie is rolling into her final semester at Rancho Corona with one major question for her boyfriend: “Are you serious?” Katie’s come to the conclusion that she really, truly loves Rick and it’s time for him to make a declaration about his future intentions. The biggest obstacle to such a conversation is the craziness of their schedules. Katie’s close friend, Nicole, is spending more time with Rick than Katie is, and the once mysterious Eli is now the person to whom Katie is opening her heart. What is happening to her should-be-predictable world?
Soon Katie finds she’s the one who is asking herself, “Are you serious?” Katie ponders what that means in her life: from her relationship with Rick to what she plans to do after graduation. Could it be that God is asking her the same question about her relationship with Him?
===
This book was a cute, light, enjoyable read. The subject matter wasn’t too heavy, but I did enjoy this book more than Robin’s Christy Miller Series. Katie is running around with a heavy schedule – she’s a Resident Assistant (RA) at her dorm and she also has a full load of classes, plus, she’s juggling her relationship with Rick. They’ve been a couple for awhile now, and Katie’s been smitten with him since she was a child. Now that her dream of dating Rick has finally come true, the next step should be marriage, right?
But why does she keep thinking about Rick’s roommate Eli? When Katie is sick, Eli comes to her rescue bearing New Zealand bottled water and cold medicine. Why is she able to talk to Eli freely, while she doesn’t share such close camaraderie with her boyfriend Rick?
This book is about Katie’s journey to knowing her true self, and about how to make her own choices that will affect her future.
I think high school and college students may enjoy this novel, too. It’s also a great adult read!
The book series sounds like fun! I hope they have a Kindle version, I think I’ll check it out later at Amazon.
I love all Robin books and I am very anxious to read Coming Attractions.
