What’s next?Ever since high school, Katie Weldon has wondered what it would be like to be Rick Doyle’s girlfriend. As a college senior she’s about to find out.
In the swirl of Katie’s upgraded dating life, she receives an unexplained bouquet, an unexpected call from her mother, an unprecedented girls’ night out with Christy, and an unhappy moment when her beloved car, Baby Hummer, takes its last wheeze.

As if she had nothing else to do, on a whim she singlehandedly starts a fund-raising campaign for clean water for Africa.
With Rick caught up in making plans for the future, how will Katie navigate her way through the remainder of her college career with no money, no transportation, no spare time, and no idea what God is up to?

This was a great book, and I for sure related to Katie since we were both RAs. However, she is probably less relatable for me than both Christy and Sierra. And speaking of, I want to hear more about Sierra!Although there was some predictability with this book, I enjoyed the trip to get there. The characters were a little more realistic in some places than in others, and although the miracle for Katie's financial problems was a little over the top, it was a good solution.
I never write reviews, but I couldn't help with this one. The Katie Weldon Series is the perfect continuation of the whole Christy Miller Series. As much as I loved Christy, Sierra, and College Years, I have to admit the writing was not superb. It's evident in the Katie Weldon Series just how much Robin Jones Gunn grew as a writer in the time she took away from these characters. Yes, it still has lovey-dovey parts, but it is not super cheesy like the other ones tended to be at times. The
A Quickie ReviewContinuing the seemingly never-ending life and times of Christy Miller, Katie Weldon, and friends, this book features Katie continuing to deal with the stresses of everything from her relationship with Rick Doyle, to her car breaking down, to her strained interactions with her mother. Anyone who has enjoyed the books leading up to this one should find plenty to love about it. It also makes a good point: Even when interactions with the opposite gender seemingly stay friendly, they
I did not like how Katie wait most the story for Rick to say he love her, at the end nothing change.
I like seeing things from Katie's perspective after reading a whole series from the view point of her best friend Christy. Katie is spunky and somehow manages to get herself into a bunch of crazy situations and strange encounters. I enjoyed seeing how she got out of her messes and who she met along the way. There were a couple of characters in this book that I was a little confused as to why they were hanging around, but I figured since there was still another book there was plenty of time for
4.5 StarsOn a Whim was a great sequel to Peculiar Treasures. It's so much fun to get to know these characters better, to watch all of their ups and downs and to see them learn from their mistakes. I highly recommend this awesome series!
