A sweet book. I really liked the characters, especially Zoey and Tristan. Trust is a big part of relationships.

100 pages in to this #bannerbuddy read and, gosh, it‘s scary stuff...

I‘m finding it fascinating learning about all of the different sects within the Church, along with their different beliefs and differing levels of fundamentalism.

BarbaraBB As @Suet624 predicted, I am upset and angry a lot reading this book. It‘s got nothing to do with religion, it‘s rape and child abuse. I think. But I may not be objective. What do you think, co-readers? 5y
julesG You have the “airlounger“ out. I still have to dare to fill mine. So far I've only carried it around in its bag hoping one of the kids wants to fill it. --- From what @BarbaraBB said, I probably won't read this book. I'd be tearing my hair out. 5y
Suet624 @BarbaraBB I still get mad when I think about this book. A horrible “cult” where men rule and women and children are subservient. (edited) 5y

MicheleinPhilly I haven‘t started yet but I read the first 40 pages a while back. I put it down precisely because it was making me rage-y. @BarbaraBB @Suet624 I also have a pretty MASSIVE chip on my shoulder when it comes to the LDS anyway as I was living in CA in 2008. 5y
BarbaraBB @MicheleinPhilly There is a lot of LDS in CA, I just read. Where I live there is no LDS to speak of so it does sound fascinating but horrible too. 5y
squirrelbrain There is a large community of LDS where I live too, but not much is known about them.... 5y
squirrelbrain @julesG yes the air lounger has been very comfortable for a day‘s reading! You should definitely try it... oh and try looking elegant getting in and out of it, rather than an upside down beetle like I do! 😬🤣😁 5y
julesG I'll try to be elegant. Will let you know how that goes. 5y
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Really? That‘s interesting! I just read many European LDS withdraw after radicalization in the US. On Google I found there is one LDS temple in my country. (edited) 5y

Mehso-so

This was a quick light read but was very predictable and somewhat boring. I will probably try the other book by this author to see if it is the same.
