Burned
by Ellen Hopkins
Did not find this book to be enjoyable at all. The main character, Pattyn, is the oldest of six daughters growing up in a Mormon household run by an abusive father.
After finding out she is dating a non-Mormon boy at school he beats her and sends her to spend the summer with her widowed ex-Mormon aunt. Instead of using the summer as an opportunity for Pattyn to grow into her own person outside the shadow of abuse, Hopkins dumps her right into another instalove relationship. I hate how much Pattyn depended on a man to fulfill her and give her life any meaning.
