I finished Growing Up Duggar over the past two weeks. The rest of the book was fantastic! I thought that this book was really interesting to read because it wasn't from the perspective of one person, but from the perspective of four people! I liked reading about multiple views on the kinds of relationships they talked about. They always seemed to connect each type of relationship they were focusing on in a chapter with the relationship(s) they had talked about or were going to talk about.

Overall, my favorite relationship to read about was having a relationship with friends. This was my favorite relationship to read about because I think it spoke well on how to treat your friends, choose them wisely, and how to even be a friend to someone you may not even be close with. These were all really good things that they pointed out.

The main idea I saw them always referring back to had to do with the connection between the type of friends you have and they kind of future you want to have. Grandma Duggar tells her grandchildren, "Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future," (Duggar 108). I think this really explains that the kind of people that you surround yourself with leads to the kind of future you'll have.

Tonight, I am going to begin reading my new book, The Help. It is the last book I chose from a genre that I do not usually read. It is a historical fiction book and I am pretty excited to read it. I saw the movie a few times and I enjoyed it a lot. I have heard that the book is even better and I am hoping to say the same.
