Right off the bat I have to say that this book relies pretty heavily with religious trauma, while it is done in more fun way it is definitely something to be aware of before you dive in. That being said I absolutely love the main character and her plan to get back at the pastor who decides to shame and basically exile her family from their community. Her fight and drive is inspiring. As someone who has attended churches like the one in this book that the pastor straight up calls out and shames individuals in the community during their sermon. It as breath taking to see this young queer woman stick it to the pastor. It is definitely worth a read, if religious trauma is not too intense of a trigger for your.
