Jobs. Missions. College. Love. In the sequel to Yearbook, the characters are in the middle of it all. Two and a half years after we left off, Andrea Beckett is a junior at Cornell University in New York. She's caught up in the whirlwind of finals, decisions about jobs . . . and decisions about love, too. Dave Sherman has returned home from his mission, and they will have to decide where their romance is going.

In addition to everything else, Andrea just received the assignment to teach early-morning seminary to a group of eight high school students, who all have their own decisions to make and challenges to overcome.

Meanwhile, Andrea's brother Ethan is serving a mission in Brazil. The language is new, the culture is different, and sometimes being Elder Beckett is harder than he expected.

Fabulous reading experience

Tasha, UT - November 04, 2008

I really liked this book - possibly better than the first. I liked how we get to know Andrea really well, to see what makes those people who we sometimes just don't get tick. I loved how Ethan wasn't perfect, that he had to learn while on his mission and spend some time really deciding who he really is. This is a great read, maintaining the element of that which is truly real and keeping the characters as people really are and showing that life doesn't always coast merrily along, but it is always worth the ride.

Thanks Ally for another great reading experience.
