Jamie should have known something was off about
the church of the Right and the Real from the start, especially when the
Teacher claimed he wasn’t just an ordinary spiritual leader, but Jesus Christ,
himself. But she was too taken by Josh, the eldest son of one of the church’s
disciples, and his all-American good looks. Josh is the most popular boy at
school too, and the first boy outside the drama geeks to give Jamie a second
look. But getting her Dad involved in a cult was not part of the plan when she
started dating Josh. Neither was her dad’s marriage to the fanatic Mira, or
getting kicked out, or seeing Josh in secret because the church has deemed her
persona non grata.
Jamie’s life has completely fallen apart. Finding her way back won’t be easy, but when her Dad gets himself into serious trouble, will Jamie be ready to rescue him, and maybe even forgive him?

This book is a complete surprise. I didn’t know what to
expect when I started reading, but I was sure, especially after watching the
trailer, that I’ll enjoy it. However, I’m sad to say, I didn’t liked this book. It
was an okay read.
The concept of the book is very different from any YA books I
read, which I loved. I’m a kind of person who gets tired reading the same thing
over and over again. And in the novel, the
concept was the only thing I liked.
I didn’t like any of the main characters. I wanted to but I couldn’t
relate or connect with them. I don’t know how to describe the main character,
Jamie. She’s … something. I didn’t like any of her relationship: her relationship
with Josh, her dad, or her friends. She seems to take things for granted.
Another thing that didn’t go well with me was the religious
content in this book, even though it wasn’t a lot, I still didn’t like it. I
don’t like reading religious things on fictional/ YA books, so that was a
bummer. Overall, it is an okay book!
Rating: 2.5/5

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy this book. I still plan on reading the ARC you sent me. I'll let you know what I think!
Aw, I'm sorry you didn't like this one, but fair review, any way ;)
I won an ARC of this one. I'm intrigued by the concept... It sounds pretty dark to me, but... Yeah. Yours is actually the first review I've read, so now I'm worried!
