Awakening by Diane Green is about a young teenage girl named Becky Chalmers and her love life.
Who will Becky fall in love with?
Becky Chalmers
Becky Chalmers is our main character and the one we follow throughout this journey. She is a sweet young teenager who has her faith that helps her throughout her journey. Becky’s journey isn’t easy, but she becomes stronger than ever. She is the first child of her parents, and she has two twin brothers and a younger sister.
Juan Carlos
Becky’s first love was with Juan Carlos. They barely started their relationship before he had to flee the States to protect his niece. Becky was so upset after this, and she had a bit of a lull in her romantic life.
Scotty Cadwallader
Scotty was her first real boyfriend. He had always thought the two would be together since they were young. Except that Becky never thought of him like that until she all of a sudden did. This relationship wasn’t to last either since Scotty got swayed by another pretty girl at their school.
Afterwards
Becky had a rough time getting her love life going, and I’m not sure if I am happy with who she ends up actually dating.
3 Star
My rating for Awakening by Diane Green is three stars. Ms. Green has a good story on her hands. I just got confused in certain spots. I had a hard time figuring out what time we were in; by that, I mean how much time passed from the beginning to the end of the story, along with Becky’s life.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Awakening by Diane Green.
Until the next time,
