Divine Match-Up

June 2, 2008
In this fourth installment of the Divine series, wedding bells are ringing for Divine’s mother, a Whitney Houston–like celebrity who has finally gotten her life back on track after a divorce and other well-publicized problems. Sixteen-year-old Divine thinks her mom is rushing into remarriage, but she’s holding onto a secret of her own: Divine has “virtually eloped” online with her boyfriend, Madison. Although their chat room marriage isn’t legal, a part of Divine wishes it were, and she wonders whether her Christian convictions will hold when Madison pressures her for sex. There’s nothing subtle about these characters, but interspersed into this soap opera’s preachy messages about marriage and responsibility is a good dose of fashionista fun.
