Welcome to Litsy!

was pretty good, not my favorite, loved that it was connected to another one of her books. 7.8/10

I think this book might be even more impactful on a #reread. More conversations about faith need to be held Meg-and-Micah-style. #yalit

B&N book haul! 📚

You know that quote that say "I love Jesus but I cuss a little" that's the exact way I would describe this book. Definitely coming of age while also exploring a secular world from a very sheltered upbringing lense. This book would be great for discussions with teens trying to figure out if their religion is their own or just assumed from their parents, really grasping what it means to be flawed and still love Jesus.↩️

This book was E V E R Y T H I N G. I was almost late to work because I HAD to finish it this morning. Meg and Micah's emotions, relationships, and faith are so real in a way I never see in Christian or Christian-aligned fiction, and I need them to know that I would die for them. #yalit

I requested this book because I adored the authors first two books, I had no idea that it was about Christianity and faith, which is not really my jam. However I gave it a chance and I‘m so glad i did. Both Meg and Micah are struggling with their faith and I though Hahn did a fantastic job wading through what it‘s like growing up super religious and then finding a crack in your system. (Cont ⬇️)

I finished this book last weekend and I still don‘t know how to express how important this book would have been to teenage Jessica. Like Meg and Micah I grew up in the church and was talked a lot about how I should act, how I should dress, and what I shouldn‘t do before marriage.I had the true loves waits ring and I wore it with proud. But I didn‘t realize until much later how much those teaching affected me. I cried finishing this book. 👇🏻

I will state right off the bat that some books aren‘t written with me in mind and that‘s okay. The struggle with reviewing these is that it‘s hard to judge the quality of the writing or how engaging the plot is when you are just completely the wrong audience. This is novel is heavily themed in the trials and tribulations of Evangelical Christian teens and was missing that darker humor and gritty plot that I usually go for.
3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Same book from this morning, but a different reading buddy! 📚💜🐶📚💜🐶

New book, same reading buddy! 💜📚🐱💜📚🐱

When all your preorders and one click buys come in at the same time! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

This review was hard to write because this book deals with something very personal to each of us…our spiritual beliefs. The cover is misleading here. It is not your average rom-com, and it will not be for everyone.
Told in alternating voices, Meg (18) and Micah (19) meet after Meg, taking a gap year before college, leaves home when a long-held family secret comes to life leaving her angry and disillusioned. Micah has felt shamed and ridiculed 🔻

Erin Hahn saw a lack on the bookshelf: an empty space for teens who believe in God, but want to believe in themselves, mess and all-- and she filled it beautifully.

Both Micah and Meg are facing deep questions with the essential heart of who am I? They also wrestle with chastity and modesty culture and what desiring another person is like for the first time in your life.
