Perfect book about what it's like to grow up Evangelical Christian in America. The teenage humor is a little over the top at times but it's always relatable. Definitely recommend.

5.0

This book delivers a heap of nostalgia for anyone who grew up in or around church youth groups in the early 2000s. This story of a teenage boy wrestling with his faith while trying to reconcile the screams of eternal damnation with the fact that he just really wants to see some boobs, is a humorous and irreverent at times (and very reverent at others) look at what it means to look beyond our indoctrination and toward a deeper understanding of ourselves.
