claysjenna 's review for:
Purity
by Skyler Mason
This book had an interesting hold on me given the fact that I left a high intensity religion. It’s not exceptionally well written. My friend and I both agreed it kind of felt like a high school student creative writing assignment. Purity culture really messes with your head. I left my childhood religion 10 plus years ago and there is so much that STILL messes with my head.
I love that she was so honest. I love that it showed how family can be accepting (her sister) and so disappointed and appalled (her father). I’m torn on how I feel about her friend Mari. She was crazy supportive but also weirdly felt like she wanted her to already be at her place of mind with religion and pushed her to be careless.
It’s funny. I remember my first everything that was “sinful” after leaving and I can relate to this book.
