I really enjoyed this book. As an ex-evangelical but still practicing Christian myself, I felt Mason did an excellent job highlighting the toxicity of purity culture while bringing light to the people who believe in God but not purity culture. The dialogue and spicy scenes felt extremely realistic and relatable. This was an enjoyable and down to earth read while also addressing substantial issues! Loved it!
