dark emotional informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

This book isn't perfect. I find the way the author intersperses the interviews is a little jarring. However, if you are wanting to dip your toe into critically thinking about and talking about Purity culture and Evangelicalism it is a good start.

They all get spoken about, but not in graphic detail. This book has a lot of interviews with people who have diverse backgrounds.
