I read a lot to find stories out of ordinary like of this book offer to a reader with no borders in thinking about faith,religion, cults and the usual hateful,absurd,tragic comic and weird things tha happen to the human life. This is a story of a woman living in a dilema or a nun with super powers, the human drama is good but I'm not a fan of the acid trip type of story that turned out to be in the half of the book. I really like Gala, her personality and strong convictions even if cetical about everything:god, love etc.... A character who remember me of Karin Boye ,a swedish writer and her book Crisis, almost the same dilema although more depressing.
A interesting book.

To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about this one. Definitely in the “wtf am I reading” category. Gala was a unique character with an interesting story and a surprising reflection and learning experience.

The author took the phrase “love will free us all” to the next level.

Really enjoyable book, short, well paced and a fascinating look at philosophy and theology.

This book may offend some, and you will know who you are either from the synopsis or from the minute you open the book and see the dedication to "everyone who's had enough of thoughts and prayers." whether or not this book is for you.

Maybe God is everywhere, or nowhere at all. Maybe people believe in God because God is real or maybe God is real because people believe. One thing is for sure, prayer is not meant for the purpose of getting God to do your bidding, especially if you think you are on a mission to control others.
Gala isn't sure what she believes or what she is looking for when she decides to stay at a convent of sorts. What she discovers is how to believe in herself.
This was a quick and quirky read that I would recommend to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.
3.5 stars that I will round up to 4 out of 5

I received a complimentary copy for review.
