This book was so much fun to read. Seeing the repercussions that Riley and her family are still facing after her sister, Hannah, was ousted from the church last year was a real experience and how it affected all of their community, not just one individual because who is going to speak out against their pastor when the Bible says not to? Watching Riley and Julia's friendship evolve at camp when they haven't spoken about the outcome between Riley's sister and Julia's father was super interesting to read because there is this deep crevice of hurt and they thought that was flimsy bridge would still support them both standing on it. I loved seeing how Riley spoke to everyone that she thought hated her sister and learned what was actually going on. Even though she was forced into going to church camp, Riley was able to learn how she wants to have religion in her life and what it would look like going forward.
