I kinda of, sort of liked this book. It was a decent read, but I was hoping for so much more from Shelby. It could have been a great book, but instead of coming to any great revelation or greater interior integrity -- and just after her big speech which makes me think that she might actually have gotten it -- she lapses into a relativistic point of view, which makes the whole journey of the book seems like a bunch of frivolous nothing. *sigh* 
 There is some hope, though, for the relationships in her life in the end. 
 And some of the messages about loving and obeying her father are good and she *does* try her best to be a good daughter. So, the book isn't a total flop for me. 
 Just not sure that I would be recommending it to anyone.
