Representaion Supposing Books Take Two (Above the Line #2)
Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison have completed their first feature film, and Hollywood is buzzing with the news. In the wake of that excitement, the producers acquire rights to a novel that has all the ingredients they want for their next project. At the same time they cross paths with a well-connected player who introduces them to the right people, and suddenly every studio in town wants to talk to Chase and Keith. The producers' dreams are on the verge of coming true, but Chase's marriage is strained and Keith's daughter --- Andi Ellison --- is making questionable choices in her quest for stardom. The producers are gaining respect and are on the verge of truly changing culture through the power of film --- but is the change worth the cost?Rating Epithetical Books Take Two (Above the Line #2)

This book was not nearly as good as the first one. It falls into the category of Im glad it is out there for people who are/were struggling with the issues addressed, but I prefer not to fill my reading choices with these books. Before I get into this, I just want to say that 1) I dont normally write reviews, but I felt this needed an explanation, and 2) I loved the faith in Keith and Lisa and a few other characters. That being said, I liked this book less and less the further I got into it. II am not enjoying this series at all. There are too many unrelated storylines. I think the Bailey/Cody thing could have been in a different book as there is only the thin tie of Andi. It is once again predictable and frustrating to read as the little inconsistencies pop up. It is almost as if she doesn't pre-plan the story in anyway and just writes what pops into her head. I was bothered that no one "remembered" they knew Taz from Clear Creek High until the middle of this book. Cody and Bailey
One of the more powerful, gripping books Ive read from Kingsbury. Or maybe I just feel that way because of where I am in my life right now. Either way, Kingsbury has a way of reaching the reader in exactly the right way.On a side note, the editing could use some help - several continuity errors and other mistakes, such as You and Chase instead of You and Keith, were very distracting. I would love to proofread her manuscripts myself!!
It was sad to see Andis fall from grace as she was mesmerized by sweet talking Taz. She was tempted because she was tired of living too goody-goody, and the resulting chaos of sin will be a painful learning experience (I next book?)Chase also was on the verge of compromising with Kendall. Theres a reason we pray lead us not into temptation!I like these books but they are not standalone.
Wow. This whole group of people and their lives just draws you right in. You can relate to thetemptations they face, the difficulties of relationships and the cost of trying to chase your dreams.
I have been reading the Baxter books in order from the very beginning. I am currently in this Above The Line series and I am really trying to enjoy it as I have with all of the other previous books/series... but this series just doesnt do it for me like the other books have. I understand this series is about the new set of characters with some of the original characters as tie ins but I am having trouble connecting with these new characters. The story lines seem to be scattered everywhere and
I used to enjoy reading Karen Kingsbury's books, but right now, I kind of feel like she's written the Bloomington, IN group to death and is now flogging them. I don't enjoy them much anymore.Andi Ellison doesn't seem to have learned anything from her previous experiences. She still seems to think she missed out on something growing up with such "strict parents" and she wants to experience life--never mind that trying to experience life almost got her raped in the past. She also wants the fame of
