Last Dance (Carter House Girls) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
With graduation looming, the Carter House girls are struggling with college visits, prom dress warfare, and boyfriend situations that are going from bad to worse. Mrs. Carter ups the stress level by planning a typical over-the-top Mother's Day fashion show, and things get tense when the designer favors certain models. Through it all, surprises are in store for each girl as their time at Carter House comes to an end. As final good-byes approach, some friendships will deepen while others crumble. Will the girls resolve old differences or part ways as enemies?

I got the first book (Mixed Bags) while it was doing a free for limited time promotion on . I finished that pretty quickly, and enjoyed it though I was a little disappointed that did not state anywhere that the book is only the first of a series of 8.After finishing the first book, I was interested enough to want to keep reading, to know whats going to happen next. Within a week (in fact, I think I finished at least 2 books a day), it has come to the end.It has been an interesting and very easy read. I am far from being a teenager anymore, but I was still able to relate many things and think Melody dealt with it pretty well. It really covers many things that teenagers might come in contact / have interest in:drugs, alcohol, boys, sex, anorexia, bulimia, kidnapping (danger of strangers), pregnancy... self image, modelling... etc.. etc.. (I might have left out some, you name your concern for your daughter, it probably covers it).It talks about God every now and then, but its not pushy, and I like it. Maybe the message is not strong enough to turn a non-believer into a Christian, but I think she has done a good job to keep teens interested, and hopefully, to help them think smarter.
I enjoyed reading all 8 books in the Carter House Series and am sad that they are leaving high school and growing up. The books are excellent. I really identified with the characters - the friendships and rivals in high school, boyfriends, dates, parties, etc.
I read all the other 7 books not in my kindle and i got this on it. I started reading last night and i just finished it like 5 seconds ago! I am definitely going to miss this series!! What i do with books is that... i get famous actors and i match them with characters and i make a movie.. anyways i have really enjoyed this series. I think i like ut so much because all of this could happen.. i love it and i ship Taylor and Harry and dj and Connor so much!!!
This book was a great ending to the series. These books deal with real life situations, and I think it had a very good ending. True, Casey and Eliza didn't become Christians, but they did seem kinder and Casey solved her problem with being pregnant. I wish there where more books, though! I really connected with DJ, and I feel we are very similar. I hope she writes another book about them in college when they all got their own ways. I loved the whole series!! So if people get started into this series, I would get the next books, too. They are a pretty fast read, and I was sad when I had to wait for the last book. I give this book two thumbs up! :)
Melody Carlson is a wonderful writer and she weaves Christianity throughout the books seamlessly. You don't feel overpowered by her message, but are still able to learn and it makes a positive impact on you. Melody Carlson knows how teens operate and what they want to read. This is probably why she has written over 200 books.Now onto the book review.This is the 8th book and final book in the series. The whole book revolves around college, prom, and becoming prom queen. It was a little slow at the beginning, but after a few chapters I remembered why I enjoy this series. There are a myriad of problems with all of the characters and it keeps you involved in the story.The characters in this book seem to be more "mild" than the other books and not as interesting. With that said, Melody is able to give the characters many conflicts and it makes up for the lack of character interest. I do wish that Taylor had been more involved in the story though.This book was a bit slower than the others, but was still interesting. I do think it could have been a bit better though. There's not much else to say about this particular book, but I would recommend the entire series.Overall the book was a good, easy read and ended the series wonderfully. I hope she does a spin-off of the characters in college, especially DJ and Casey.
it was a great book i love how she made her characters become so real and i fell in love wiith it so much i bought the entire series and read it under four days.
This is a great book for teens of all ages and one that is popular with our high school girls.
This is the last book of the Carter House Girls, i love all of the other ones, from the first mixed bags to this one.....I am little sad that is over!!! I wish Melody Carlson could write some more of it!!!A great Christian book!!!!!!
