Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free
Meh.
As I started this book, I was really excited about it. But, it got increasingly hard to read. To me, almost like a text book. With all the interviews and statistics... I’m not sure I could offer constructive criticism about how to relay this info in a better way. But, I can tell you - I was hoping to read it in more of an autobiography/memoir kind of read and it was not like that over all. No doubt it will resonate with people who are embarking on a healing journey. Just not really a defining read for me.

Great book!
I slipped up and watched the “You” series on Netflix first. I became so intrigued that I, of course, knew I needed to read the book. And, yes, it’s even better. Now, I am pretty stoked to read the follow up - and before the second part of the “You” series comes out. Even though you might know all the surprises, reading this book still happens quickly and urgently. You read it in his voice. You read quickly and maniacally because that’s who Joe is. You go back and forth between being annoyed by Beck but then alarmed by Joe. It’s such a great book and I am literally opening up the second book after I hit “submit.”

Still good
I thought this one was a bit harder to really love the characters as compared to the first one. But, it still had that quality that made me really need to know what was going to happen next. All in all, solid follow up with some definite surprises.

Wow.
As usual, I did not see this coming. Crouch is a fantastic story teller. I never thought I would find anything remotely sci-fi interesting - but, if that’s what this might be in a way, I definitely find it interesting. Wow.
