A review by larskat
Anything But Normal by Melody Carlson

2.0

I started this book with great trepidation, as I do any teen parent book . I've walked that mile in those shoes and actually felt that Carlson managed to portray the turmoil fairly accurately. The part I didn't agree with was the death grip she made on the chastity vow being broken only by rape... Give me a break. There was one part that honestly addressed the issue, I think it was the pastor who talked about girls breaking their chastity vows. I don't know why she had to be raped, I thought that part of the story was what took it from a strong three stars to a meh two stars. Can't "good little Christian girls" make stupid mistakes or is all the blame to lay on those horny "PK"s as they are labelled by the gossipy moms in the book.
