dark mysterious fast-paced

1.5

This book was pretty much triggering in every way that a book could be... I am being generous and giving it that little .5 extra bc I did feel a little *seen* in the beginning with the intersection-between-religious-conservatism-and-sexism bit.

i really liked this book. 'twas beautifully written, and it made me emotional. the main character is strong and independent. it's like Lord of the Flies meets a Handmaid's Tale. Highly recommend.

The Grace Year by Kim Ligget - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was really excited for this book, but it was just eh for me. It felt very drawn out, and while I won spoil anything, the ending disappointed me. I felt like the book wasn't supposed to end yet.
