Summary
Valerie Danners is in a cult. She just doesn’t know it yet. When she finds a queer book at the library and smuggles it home, her conservative Christian homeschooling world begins to crack. And when the cutest girl she’s ever met shows up to Bible class, she starts to question everything.
Riley is so confident and kind, and she and Valerie bond quickly over existing as multiracial teens in a very white Christian community. As Valerie explores her feelings for Riley, she begins to see that the world she knows is a carefully crafted narrative.
Publicly, the girls are close friends—holding hands in prayer, rooming together at a conference. Privately, they grasp at any chance to continue their forbidden romance—until they are found out. Now, Valerie must choose between staying with a family she fears will never accept her, or running away with the girl she loves.

Amazing
Wow. This book is outstanding, and the narration of course is perfect. What an incredible story of bravery and endurance in the face of a warped religious upbringing. I was so worried for them both as the story unfolded ...and what about Hannah's little brother(???) I hope he found some peace from his demented parents, poor kid. The two main characters are utterly adorable, thank goodness they made it out. The poignance of the story to the author makes it and her all the more brilliant.

The setting of the book is something new to me.
I love the narration and also the story. The characters are really good and I love the small snippets of meta in it. Like nodd to a book the author has been the narrator for.
