Commentary Toward Books Amazing Grace
Gorgeous teen superstar Grace Kincaid has it all--an electric smile, million-dollar endorsement deals, and blond cover-girl looks. But what happens when America's "It" girl doesn't want "It" anymore? With the paparazzi stalking her every move, Grace quietly slips out of a TEEN PEOPLE photo shoot, ducks the press, and calls her mom from the boiler room of the fabled USTA National Tennis Center. And right there, in her custom-made Nike warm-ups, tears streaming down her face, Grace says the three magic words that her mom told her she could say anytime, anytime this whole crazy life wasn't fun anymore. Three simple words—and her new life begins. For the hottest girl on the planet, life's about to change. Grace gets a make-under, a new identity, and a new life in a rugged little town on the edge of nowhere, population 813 (including one cute boy: one very cute boy). Megan Shull's AMAZING GRACE will grab you from the first paragraph (go ahead,read it!) and keep you reading till its satisfying,transporting--shhhh--happy ending. A sparkling new voice in teen fiction.

really really goodHonestly, I could not get over how unrealistic this book is. Even for a YA book, everything about this is so unbelievable. A young girl who is used to a life of lavish then gets thrown into unfamiliar situations and she handles it with such "grace"? She describes every person in the book as ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL or Gorgeous, which is also again so unrealistic. It is a very quick read, but I would not read it again or honestly recommend it.
Why?Did it seem. Like. The whole thing... was written...Like this?!
Ages 11+ (kiss romance, a drunken escapade with consequences, one "shit") Fifteen year old tennis star Grace "Ace" Kincaid is giving UP! She's quitting the sport, giving up her multi-million dollar endorsement deals, and going into hiding (complete with name change to Emily O'Brien) in tiny little Medicine Hat, Alaska. The wilderness is actually super refreshing, although using an outhouse is NOT. Added bonus: she is rescued from a DANGEROUS MOOSE by sexy Eskimo Teague Denali. Booklong
review tbc.INTRO;;With the Australian Open currently filling our local news and radio broadcasts, I decided to finally crack the spine of Amazing Grace. A fast-paced sport orientated novel for those of us who know what it's like to simply need a break from your life at times. Ultimately, I feel I should have paid more attention to the 99 cent sticker on the cover of this novel as it turned out to be a really good indicator of the quality-level.SUMMARY;;Grace Kincaid breaks worldwide records when
This book is good!!!! I actually liked it alot when... BAM!!!!! Bad scene!!! The author does a good job showing how the character internally changes though. I like the plot- not crazy about the language I was and still am disapointed with the inappropriateness the book showed.
I really couldn't stomach this book. Every night when I finished reading for the evening, I'd throw it on the floor. I know it's written for teens, but it's still SO totally unbelievable that I couldn't find the motivation to keep turning the pages (especially since I was turning a page every 20 seconds.)It would have been better as a movie. It moved WAY too fast and everything ended up just WAY too perfect. Not just in the ending, but all throughout the whole book. I would have liked to get to
