prioryofprose 's review for:

The Anti-Virginity Pact by Katie Wismer
4.0

Katie's debut novel is a fun adventure. I was not sure what to expect, not really knowing the synopsis. I thought as I started it, it was going to be like Heathers. It definitely had a hint, but was not the full extent of the story.
Katie takes a stance on religion through her characters, that I believe was done really well. She does not necessarily shame the believers or non-believers, but charges them to be open-minded and excepting.
As a Christian, I definitely can relate to the times where doubt and the "Christian" ideal are overwhelming.
Katie's characters were well rounded and I enjoyed their growth during the story.
My main "flaw" in the book was it had SO much going on, there seemed to be four different plots all going on and some of them were just unnecessary.
Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. Nice work Katie!
