The story itself is good, albeit a bit unbelievable at times – a few too many traumatic and dramatic side-stories for it to be realistic. That aside, it’s called fiction for a reason, so I definitely don’t mind giving the story 4/5 stars. What had me questioning the overall rating of this book is the fact that the author uses teenagers as the main characters, yet the feelings, emotions, experiences, and actions were WAY more suited for adults. Having a 17 y/o daughter myself, it was cringy to imagine her speaking, thinking, and acting like Blair. A mature twenty-something? Yes. But definitely not a senior in high school. That’s not to say that a 17 y/o wouldn’t or couldn’t have some of the experiences that Blair has, but the emotional maturity it takes to face these experiences is just not that of a teen. I agree with other reviewers who commented on the polygamy and the fact that teens are not nearly developed enough psychologically or emotionally to enter into such a situation with clear, unhindered expectations. I found the story-line interesting, even if it’s not my thing, but if there’s one type of characterization that keeps me from enjoying a book, it’s definitely that of sexualizing children and teens.
