What do You think about Who I Am (2002)?
Caitlin continues to tell her tale through diary entries in this third installment of the series. This time she is a senior, dealing with race issues, suicide, dating, and other typical teenage woes. Some of the references and situations felt a little dated, namely the prolonged "name dropping" of the prayer of Jabez.It has been the weakest of the series so far for me, though still worth a read for those vested in the series. Something about the circumstances was a little cookie cutter and idealistic. I feel odd saying that, since some horrible tragedies take place, but even those tragedies felt too polished. I was excited to meet Chloe, since I had no idea that was coming, and am looking forward to quickly moving onto the fourth book.As with the first two books, the story is in first-person diary format. There are some sexual situations, though they are dealt with in a realistic and meaningful way that are meant to teach.

Probably the best book in the Caitlin series so far! Each book I read makes me want to read another one so I can find out what will happen next. I know I'm not a teenager anymore, but I figure an adult wrote the book, so why can't an adult read it?This book deals with series topics, just like every other book in the series. This book tackles homosexuality, suicide and death.I wonder what will happen when Caitlin goes to college? I guess I'll have to just sit tight and read the next book.A few things I like about the book and want to do myself: 1) writing regurarly in her diary 2) I totally admire her for a mentoring someone younger than her 3) she works so hard to support a ministry she believes strongly in 4) boldly sharing her faith, but always trying to let God lead
