//4/25/2011 by Shelby S. * * * * *// When my friend suggested this book to me and told me I was going to cry, I didn’t believe her, but she was right. //Burnt Orange: Color Me Wasted// is one of those modern day, easy to follow books that gives you a laugh and yet a sense of understanding. It’s one of those “been there, done that” kind of stories that you can relate to pretty easily. //Color Me Wasted// is a book that’s funny, a little bit suspenseful, heart jerking with overwhelming emotions, and has an ending that will literally bring tears in your eyes. The ending is not exactly what you may expect but its good nonetheless. It expresses issues with faith that we have within ourselves today and yet shows the power of the grace of God in every way.

//5/6/2011 by Macie J. * * * * *// Burnt Orange is about a teenage girl struggling to make a decision about alcohol. She is experiencing the peer pressure of alcohol and doesn’t know how to handle it. She used to be very involved in church and a youth group, but she makes a new friend named Claire. Claire is a bad influence on her and she starts to make the wrong decisions. Even though she feels like she will never be able to be who she used to be, the innocent, Christian girl, somehow she finds her way back to God. I love all of Melody Carlson’s books but this one by far is my favorite. It tells a story of a real life situation and how to handle it the right way.
