I’m sure there’s someone out there who needs this book, and I love stepping outside myself to live other experiences. The general premise of the story was interesting, and I've been trying to read in a lot of different genres. I'm also still unsure of exactly how this came into my recommendations.
But this shit was so lame.
If you did not grow up deep into a christian lifestyle/in a christian morality you will find nothing here. Some of the character writing was interesting and I felt like the author did a good job allowing each separate character to find "their voice." I have trouble empathizing with christians who try to modernize their ideologies into an inclusive framework, it never quite works and its uncomfortable for everyone involved. All of this to say there is a much easier path to navigate when it comes to moving past modesty & christian value-induced guilt and that's abandoning it all together. The desperate clinging onto a faith you feel so conflicted on. Why live a half truth?
