Jesus Land: A Memoir by Julia Scheeres

dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.0

I'm only giving this one 3 stars because I did feel mostly engrossed in the story, but overall, this was not my favorite. The writing was fine, which was shocking bc of how good Thousand Lives' writing was. I didn't understand the choice to try and give us the background of her and her brother's relationship at the end of each chapter. Occasionally the language was derogatory and homophobic and I can't tell if it's because she was telling the story from her viewpoint as a teenager, or if that was her present day language, and that's a significant difference. Lots and lots of trigger warnings with this too.
