Meg loves YA fiction because she believes it can impact teenagers at a crucial stage. The dramatic setting formed the perfect backdrop for the question that plagues thousands of girls graduating high school and college each year: What will I do with my life and how will God fit into it? The rich culture and varied landscape captured her imagination, and she just knew she had to share. Living in Mexico for a year showed her a whole new side of the country she’s only seen depicted in cartoons or on the news. When Meg accepted Alan Gonzalez’s offer of a dance, she began on a journey that pulled her out of her sheltered life and into a big and beautiful world. You don't have to be perfect to draw close to God. Will her trip end in disaster or will she find the strength for which she’s been searching? Book Takeaway: Her heart, her art, and even her safety are at risk as she struggles to find a balance between cultural differences, old assumptions, and strange romance. If only life would stick to it.After facing everything from a flash flood to Moctezuma’s revenge, from a romantic date for two to a gaggle of snide girls, teenage artist Mila Gulick finds the biggest challenge comes from the war within herself. Mila’s summer in Mexico is going to be perfect. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.Sketchy Tacos By Meg D. I would highly recommend this book whether you are 15 or 59. Maybe a book showing more of what happens between Izzy, her dad, how her mother ends up in her new job etc. I also definitely hope there will be more books! I would love to be able to listen to the whole series so far. I am shamelessly going to put in a request that book one, Sketchy Tacos is produced in audio.

I must admit, that i am reading the second book in this series, and although it’s a different character and the narrator is very good, I miss Gryphon Corpus. The different accents were great as well. It really brought the story to life.I could almost see the expression on Izzy’s face as she went to battle or delivered her lines. I loved the way the story eased the listener in to the real message, which was about forgiveness and the fact that money and power isn’t anywhere near everything. I would love to see more of Izzy in future books.

The story flowed along very well, at a good pace, and was very interesting. She was also floored and had issues which was great. I frequently found myself smiling when she delivered something slightly sarcastic. It could have gone on for several more hours and I still would have been in to it.

Young adult fiction or not, I found this book extremely hard to put down.
