review 1: Having mixed feelings. Not sure how plausible I find the main plot point, but not so lack of belief that I´m going to harp on it. My big problem with the book was the lack resolution. We had our big climactic conflict, a chapter of "We did it!" and then the book was over. I mean, the big problem -- "Help, my dad´s been brainwashed by a cult!" -- was solved, but the other problems caused by the cult-y brainwashing -- Dad signed the house over, Dad has no job, Dad´s been starved half to death... We threw some baby food at it, made out with the hottie and called it a night. Don´t ask me why I keen saying "we," like I was there or involved or anything. I don´t know why I´m doing that, so I´m going to stop. Ta-da! End.
review 2: As good as, maybe bette... morer than, Restoring Harmony. Just a few months from 18 and independence, Jamie's dad, former alcoholic and currently enmeshed in a cult, kicks her out for refusing to pledge herself to his church. She's got toughness from her years of dealing with alcoholic parents, but, like most teens, lacks a lot of the skills it takes to live on her own, especially since she's keeping it a secret to avoid being sent to live with her unreliable mother. Love the LaVon character, even though he's too good to be true. The romance didn't do anything for me, and probably could have been left out, cause that's not what the story was really about. less
