Back When You Were Easier to Love
by Emily Wing Smith
This one was fun. Also clever. And it reminded me of those painful high school days. Because even though I didn't grow up in Utah, I grew up (and still am) Mormon. And where there are Mormons there is a Mormon microcosm of this high school.
The pacing was good. The characters were rounded. The religion was a defining element of but didn't overshadow the story. Okay maybe there was a little much of the teen angst, but you know, its all about overcoming the angst, so you've got to have it to begin with. <3
