I went into reading this book with high expectations. Throughout my high school career, Ellen Hopkins was a favorite, and when I saw a book I hadn't already read, I purchased it with high expectations. It wasn't a bad read, but it was not her best. I liked that it tackled common issues within the christian community, but that wasn't really what I was hoping for when I picked the book up. I was hoping for the infamous gut-wrenching plots that Ellen is so great at, yes, she tackled in issue in society, something she is wonderful at - But this book just didn't hit me as strong as her others have. It was worth the read, the debate moments were fantastic, but the overall plot just didn't do much for me.
