Yours Forever

"Get Todd jealous. Flirt your face off with Doug, and Toss will see that he's going to lose you if he doesn't act quick."

Book: Yours Forever by Robin Jones Gunn, Focus On The Family Publishing, 1990

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Target Audience: Girls 13-16

Subjects: Dating Relationships, Friendships, Family Relationships

Summary: Jealousy. It always works right? Or maybe it just causes more hurt and pain. Christy desperately wants to be in a relationship with Todd, but between strict parents, meddling little brothers and well meaning friends, she seems to be getting farther away instead of closer.

Notes: In this book Christy is, as she always is, wanting to be Todd's girlfriend, wanting things defined. When things don't work out the way she had hoped she gets her first chance to learn to be content with what she has, a forever friend who wants to do right by her and wants to encourage her to grow in her faith. It's a good reminder for young girls eager to experience what older girls have: committed dating relationships.
