With graduation looming, the Carter House girls are struggling with college visits, prom dress warfare, and boyfriend situations that are going from bad to worse. Mrs. Carter ups the stress level by planning a typical over-the-top Mother's Day fashion show, and things get tense when the designer favors certain models. Through it all, surprises are in store for each girl as their time at Carter House comes to an end. As final good-byes approach, some friendships will deepen while others crumble. Will the girls resolve old differences or part ways as enemies?

More About the Author
Melody Carlson has written around 200 books for teens, women and children. That's a lot of books, but mostly she considers herself a "storyteller." Her books range from serious issues like schizophrenia (Finding Alice) to lighter topics like house-flipping (A Mile in My Flip-Flops) but most of the inspiration behind her fiction comes right out of real life. Her young adult novels (Diary of a Teenage Girl, TrueColors etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. She's won a number of awards (including the Rita and Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV. Carlson has two grown sons and makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and yellow Lab dog. To find out more about Melody Carlson, visit her website at http://www.melodycarlson.com/

5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally finished reading the series.,

This review is from: Last Dance (Carter House Girls) (Kindle Edition)
I got the first book (Mixed Bags) while it was doing a free for limited time promotion on Amazon. I finished that pretty quickly, and enjoyed it though I was a little disappointed that Amazon did not state anywhere that the book is only the first of a series of 8.
After finishing the first book, I was interested enough to want to keep reading, to know whats going to happen next. Within a week (in fact, I think I finished at least 2 books a day), it has come to the end. It has been an interesting and very easy read. I am far from being a teenager anymore, but I was still able to relate many things and think Melody dealt with it pretty well. It really covers many things that teenagers might come in contact / have interest in: drugs, alcohol, boys, sex, anorexia, bulimia, kidnapping (danger of strangers), pregnancy... self image, modelling... etc.. etc.. (I might have left out some, you name your concern for your daughter, it probably covers it). It talks about God every now and then, but its not pushy, and I like it. Maybe the message is not strong enough to turn a non-believer into a Christian, but I think she has done a good job to keep teens interested, and hopefully, to help them think smarter.

This review is from: Last Dance (Carter House Girls) (Paperback)
This book was a great ending to the series. These books deal with real life situations, and I think it had a very good ending. True, Casey and Eliza didn't become Christians, but they did seem kinder and Casey solved her problem with being pregnant. I wish there where more books, though! I really connected with DJ, and I feel we are very similar. I hope she writes another book about them in college when they all got their own ways. I loved the whole series!! So if people get started into this series, I would get the next books, too. They are a pretty fast read, and I was sad when I had to wait for the last book.
I give this book two thumbs up! :)

This review is from: Last Dance (Carter House Girls) (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading all 8 books in the Carter House Series and am sad that they are leaving high school and growing up. The books are excellent. I really identified with the characters - the friendships and rivals in high school, boyfriends, dates, parties, etc.
