I read Backseat Saints first too and then this one. At first I was miffed that I read them out of order but now I think it may have been the better choice. I really wanted to know what happened to Jim Beverly and I think Backseat Saints would have been so different had I known from the get go.<br /><br />I still haven't written my review of this but one thing I'll mention is that there seemed to be some discrepancies between events in the two books.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6174922800884107274.post-21288782315739809952011-06-10T14:11:09.873-07:002011-06-10T14:11:09.873-07:00I'm reading her "the girl who stopped swi...I'm reading her "the girl who stopped swimming" right now and find it very good.
