Who is Holly Willoughby’s stylist? The Trouble With Weddings--Holly's mother is getting married and Holly is determined to make her mother's wedding the best thing ever, even when her mother states she doesn't want a flashy wedding. She is also getting annoyed with Danny, who has been very preachy and controlling lately. When she discovers her first crush, Jared, still likes her, she can't help but be suspicious. So suspicious that she decides to test him.

I really enjoyed this one. I was never allowed to go to camp as a kid and camp stories have always fascinated me. I loved the antics the girls got themselves into, and the addition of their camp counselor who was battling her own demons. Straight-A Teacher--This was a very interesting book. In this book, Holly falls for her new student teacher. She's also been cast to play the lead role in the play that he's in charge of. I liked the way this one played out in the end and was surprised that this topic was even approached. I approve. Little White Lies--Holly is excited to be going to visit her dad in California for two weeks, but Andie is less than thrilled. Holly is amazed to discover that her brousin (cousin/step-brother) stood by and let his new friend make mean comments concerning Andie's ethnicity. Desperate to get away from Dressel Hills, Andie begs Holly to let her go with her to California. After some convincing, Andie's mom allows her to go--as long as Holly promises to keep an eye on Andie and to not go pairing off with boys. Holly eagerly agrees but after Andie meets Rico, an older Hispanic boy on the beach, she finds her best friend becoming more and more stubborn. She's also worried about her father, who seems to be having health problems. As for Holly’s Heart, Holly and Ben both have had tragic events in their lives. While these are defining factors in their lives, they have managed to live with grace and purpose. I liked that about them. Also I like the focus that was on the twins, as well as how the Ben and Holly found such a positive balance for the four of them. The big surprise was Ben’s grandmother. Even she helped to keep this story heartwarming. I wish we could have know her husband, Ben’s grandfather. Perhaps we did a little since he must have been a lot like Ben.

At no point in the book was it made explicitly clear that if the adult returned Holly’s crush as she frequently and hopelessly dreams he will, it would be WRONG. While having a crush on a teacher is a typical adolescent experience, content for adolescents, ESPECIALLY Christian content, bears a responsibility to offer guidance and CLEAR teaching that an adult reciprocating interest in a child is WRONG. This content is dangerous for adolescents and was incredibly out of character when compared with the rest of the Holly’s Heart series. I felt very sympathetic for Holly in this book. I had to move three times during my young life, and even though I enjoyed a change, sometimes it was hard leaving behind everything that you knew, including friends. I felt that Holly's stepfather and mother should have been a little more gentle with this news of moving after she almost lost her cat in the last book. I am glad things worked out in the end, though! Furthermore, Holly knows that this will be the ideal time for witnessing to her father about God’s love.

However, the only problem is that no one wants Holly to leave her hometown including her mother, her best friend, and her younger sister. Angie Smith is an English celebrity and red carpet stylist and has been in charge of Holly’s style for over three years.

I liked how Holly wanted to make her mother's wedding beautiful. I loved that her uncle wanted to include the cat in the wedding as well. As much as I liked Danny before, he was very preachy and controlling in this book and it got on my nerves almost as much as it got on Holly's. I was cautious about Jared but glad to see how caring he is. Holly continues to grow. I didn't care too much for Stan until toward the end, though. Holly's bathroom scene was hilarious. It's totally something I would do if I ever tried what she did. I liked Stan much better in this book, and I even liked Andie a bit better. I am very glad that Jared was not actually doing anything wrong, but I can't say I wasn't curious about Sean either. I like how the relationship between Holly and her stepmother changes. Her dad reading the classic Christmas story--Jesus' birth--was also a nice addition. Opening up about Holly’s changing style, Angie previously told the Daily Mail: "Holly was open to new ideas. The main thing I wanted to do was get her into more colour – so we tried everything on and went from there. I remember her saying, 'I’ve had my kids. I just need to change it up.'"

Dr Ben Brierly twirled his wide-brimmed Akubra on one finger as he surveyed the empty consulting rooms. Wirralong Family Doctors Surgery. His! Best Friend, Worst-Enemy has been written from the 1st person POV. Therefore, author Beverly Lewis has given the readers great insight into the feelings and emotions of Holly. Furthermore, the book captures the readers’ heart and in the process takes them on an emotional journey.

As is the case with all of Beverly Lewis books, she has once again managed to put a great emphasis on the cultural-importance of books such as Best Friend, Worst-Enemy, considering the fact that she has discussed the struggles of overcoming a broken home and learning to live with a merged family and also growing-up Godly. I liked this book pretty well. I am very relieved that Holly's mom did not marry Mr. Tate because I thought he was a controlling butt. I do feel bad for Zachary, though. I think Holly's mom can also be a bit selfish, and I still don't like Andie. I like the relationship between Holly and Danny a lot, even if he sometimes doesn't agree with her--no relationship is perfect! I also thought it was pretty cool that Holly got to meet her favorite author. Holly definitely grows in this chapter. The adult involved did not generally reciprocate feelings, however the last line in the book is something to the effect of, “Maybe we’ll connect in four years” (when Holly is 18!). This is highly inappropriate.

I was disappointed that there wasn't any reconciliatory scene between Holly and Ben's grandmother considering she'd changed for the better and that she'd even given permission through Ben for Holly to use her property for the camp. The epilogue however was shown through her eyes and it isn't surprising to see that the twins have stolen her heart and she's looking forward to being a grandmother to them. We also get to see the couples from the previous books in the series, which was my missing in Elsa's stand - my only peeve with that book.
