Micah: The Good Girl #2 by Ashley Woodfolk
4.0

3.5 stars
*I received a copy from PenguinTeen in exchange for an honest review*

This was a fun read. This is written at a purposely lower reading level to engage teens who might struggle with higher level reading so the writing does read as simplistic, but it didn't bother me because I knew it was purposeful. Micah as a character was interesting to read, and I appreciated how the book showed her dealing with her grief, anxiety, and going to therapy. I really enjoyed the healthy portrayal of therapy. I also thought her struggle with her faith in contrast with her romantic relationship was interesting and I think it would be relatable for some teens.

Similarly to the previous book in the series I had an issue with a conflict in the later half of the book where I didn't quite understand why the parents were reacting the way they were. Or rather I understood why, but I don't think they're completely justified and the book doesn't acknowledge that.
