3.0

Nicely low-key. I expect the reason it took me ages to find this one is that it's LDS fiction—the author's [b:Matched|7735333|Matched (Matched, #1)|Ally Condie|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1367706191s/7735333.jpg|9631645] series did quite well, but libraries (or at least—the ones I frequent) don't go in for tons of religious fiction. And, well, neither do I, generally, but again, that it's pretty low-key makes the religion end work better for me than it might. Actually, setting aside the LDS element, the book reminds me a fair bit of Sarah Dessen's books: strong family element; a boy who swoops in to help the heroine grow; lots of smaller-scale realistic problems piled on each other.

I have another LDS book on my shelves...should try to get around to that in the near future for better comparison.
