Probably one of the best short novels I have read. It reads in a very matter-of-fact manner, but still conveys so much emotion. Touches on some sensitive topics, but not much detail of it all, encompassing all the emotions without traumatizing the reader. Loved the characters and the story, finished the book devastated, 10/10.

Loved this book. Very challenging no matter no long you have walked with the Lord. The author walks you through her real experiences and wrestling with them in her faith, challenging not only her own perspective but how God’s people in the church are handling widespread issues. Incredible read as she walks with you through difficult questions and ideas, not providing you with an answer but rather a shoulder to lean on as you confront these issues in the Lord’s presence. All trigger warnings on first page of the book after title and dedication. Page explains sensitive material includes hard topics experienced in real life: sexual abuse, same-sex attraction, depression and mental health issues (suicidal ideation and attempts), eating disorder, spiritual abuse, and a miscarriage.
