I don't think I have ever read a book that reflects my experience growing up in an evangelical church so closely. This book was incredibly validating and healing for me. I read it slowly, while processing and opening up conversations with friends and family who were raised in the same evangelical environment. It has helped me put words to so many deeply rooted beliefs that I have been trying to untangle for many years! The writer talks about the pushback she received while writing the book, especially from her parents, but I can confidently say that I needed this book.

This book is really fascinating but not very well written. It’s just...not. Which is so frustrating. On the one hand, it’s limiting because all the interviews are from white evangelical women, but on the other hand, the author was upfront about that being her experience and only wanting to center on that lens.
This book could have been better, but at least it’s trying?
