so, when i start a book that i know is going to have LDS characters in it, my guard is immediately up. I was raised in the Church, and while i haven't considered myself a part of it since I was old enough to choose to no longer attend, i still feel very protective of the church, and the members. 
 if you follow me on YouTube, you've most likely heard me mention this book: Burned, which i hate with the fire of 10,000 suns. it is horribly offensive and makes my eye twitch every time i even think about it. *twitch twitch* i would love to know where exactly Hopkins did her research on Mormons, but whatever, this review isn't about that atrocious dumpster fire. 
 The authors of Autoboyography clearly did their homework. I was impressed. they didn't make Mormons the villains of their story. while the LDS church has come a long way, further than many other Christian religions imo, they still have a long way to go. but i thought the way they were written in this book was pretty accurate to my experiences with the Church. Now i grew up in South Florida, and i've heard Utah Mormons are different, but it still felt really accurate to me. 
 now that i've rambled on about Mormon rep for a hundred years, i just have this to say about the romance. SWOON! loved it. as you know i don't like to give too much away about books, so that's all i'm gonna say.
