Growing up in the Bible Belt I could appreciate her story. My upbringing wasn't like that, but I feel like I knew girls at school for whom this was their life. I appreciated her honesty, but I did feel like she got list in the writing. There was a lot of talk of youth to adolescence -- but then we suddenly jumped to adulthood with no real explanation of her transformation from a young girl who felt like her boyfriend was Jesus to a very different adulthood.
There was a nearly full chapter that was like Bible study. I mean, it wasn't *totally* disconnected, but it was definitely disconnected from the rest of the book and felt like a distraction. But Campbell ended strong and the last page had the real gems about the real Jesus that she only found as an adult.
