review 1: Why does a book that has mormon characters have to be "Mormon Literature" and every character is expected to be teaching a moral lesson and setting an example of either pure white or solid black. Mormons are normal people too. This book was about the psychology and emotions of being a mormon teen in a mormon community. It was about the grey stuff. It wasn't about the doctrine. The characters are well crafted, quirky and unique - each with a very different voice. Well written and entertaining. But I did feel that the ending - Lissa's story - didn't quite sit right with me. Otherwise, it felt real, interesting and it made me laugh.
review 2: Good book! This book had a lot of Morman related things, and I'm not a morman. But my friend is.... Anyways, it was a wond... moreerfully well done book and I read it in like 5 days. I love books that have different views of people, and this was definitely the reason why! It shows how people could view one thing about someone or something completely different from the other person. The three people that stuck to me were Miles, Claire and Nina. Miles was Jesse's (the un-viewed dead main character) best friend. Claire was Jesse's sister. Nina was his first love and Miles' sister. They were the most relatable (relateable?) people to me. Good job Smith! :) less
