mckinlay 's review for:
Heretics Anonymous
by Katie Henry
*I received a DRC from edelweiss and the publisher. This does not affect my review.*
I know this book is being compared to the movie Saved, and yes, i guess the vibe is similar, and i do think if you like that movie, you'll like this. but it's also so much more! Even though this book is told through the eyes of an atheist at a Catholic school, i thought it was incredibly respectful of the religion, and also what it's like to believe a religion is the right place for you, but still wanting it to evolve and change, to be better. Because you know it could be.
Unlike the movie Saved, this book features a diverse cast of characters: a Jewish gay boy, Avi. A Korean kid, named Max, who I also think is on the spectrum though it is not disclosed on the page. And a Latina girl, Lucy, who is the Catholic feminist badass that i didn't know i needed.
I'd like to note that I am not Catholic, but I hope to loan my ARC to my Catholic BFFF and get her opinion. Will edit my review, if necessary.
