Boyfriends, Burritos And An Ocean Of Trouble (Enhanced Edition) (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This is another book I've been waiting on for a long time and naturally, I finished it in days. Brynn is a normal 15 year old girl. As normal as you can be when your boyfriend abuses you. When the abuse comes into the light, only after a serious accident, everything seems to spiral out of control. What Brynn had hoped to keep under wraps is suddenly exposed and it leaves her questioning her friends, her family, and most of all, herself. Finding a mysterious book, she begins to leaf through it and stumbles upon a man- Yeshua- who makes outstanding claims...claims that Brynn questions and gets answered by the book. As she tries to trust people again, the book teaches her that there is One ultimate being that she can trust above all; the thought leaves her scared- How can she trust someone when life is such a mess?I felt like I was right alongside Brynn, learning things I've heard a million times but with a new perspective. Nancy Rue is one of the only authors I've encountered who can accurately descirbe the awesomeness of our God. I won this book through a give away from goodreads.. I started it not really knowing what to expect but I found out that I could not put it down! This is a great book for people of all ages, especially teenage girls that are just starting to date and aren't really sure how to "work" Jesus into their relationship. This story is about a 15 year old girl who is being abused and she would pray to Jesus to make it stop. She feels like Jesus isn't real bc the guy she was dating supposedly went to church and he was a bad guy. She ends up finding this "RL" book and it literally speaks to her. It tells her stories about a guy named Yeshua and shows her things she can relate to. She realizes eventually that Yeshua is actually Jesus and she develops a relationship with him that helps her get through a trial against her physically abusive boyfriend. It shows how even if people that you thought were your friends turn against you, Jesus will always be there for you. I loved how the author took bible stories and made them into "nowaday" stories. She put it into surfer lingo and made it really relate to what Bryn was going though. It also shows how Jesus puts people into your life when you really need them.I would highly recommend this book and I loved it! I can't wait to find more books from this author!
