Even Though You're Wrong
Good Christian girls don’t date atheist boys — especially after their younger sisters lose their virginity, especially after their fathers leave their mothers, and especially when their whole small town is watching and judging.
Tara is a good Christian girl.
But Jared is hot, funny, smart, and so sweet! Besides, Tara is eighteen — old enough to make her own decisions about her dating life. It won’t end badly. They’ll disagree on things, but they’ll work it out.

Wow.
I can’t even write out how much I liked this book. Yes, this book does have a strong Christian appearance to it but the story itself is realistic and completely perfect. (I can’t get this out in words because of how good it was.) Many of the controversies surrounding the Bible are addressed in this novel. I was thinking, about halfway through the story, that even if the characters don’t make it out together, they spectacularly influenced each other.
Since you guys, I’m guessing, haven’t read the story, I should probably give a bit of background. Ella is Tara’s little sister. (Tara is the main character.) She loses her virginity and then the Christian town that she lives in starts to shun her. They gossip, whisper, and talk about remaking Ella. She’s called a lot of bad words straight to her face and is kind of like an outcast. Along with that, Tara’s parents are getting a divorce. That also causes a lot of disruption in Tara’s family. Tara takes on a job at the local smoothie shop to pay for bills since their father doesn’t live with them anymore. She meets Jared there who doesn’t believe in Christianity and starts falling in love with him. It causes a lot of uproars.
That is the basis of the storyline except for the way I wrote it is very bland. READ THE BOOK. I think it’s perfect for teenagers because of how the author introduces how life can be for some people. I remember reading a book like this one and I can’t remember the name but it was so good and opened my eyes. This one does the same. It capturing and grips your attention until you end it with the feeling of, “Wow. What did I just read?”

I LOVED this book. It blew me away in so many ways. It was thoughtful and took the time to build the characters with such depth - truly a beautiful story. Christianity features as a theme in the book but you don’t have to be religious or even spiritual to relate to the idea of re-examining a belief that no longer feels true to you. In fact, it’s pretty much a universal story, is it not? The classic coming of age through the lens of Christianity. As someone who grew up in an orthodox Christian religion, I very much appreciated the coming of age story from this lens.

This was such a cute book! I loved the characters so much and their stories were very relatable. Just like Tara and Jared, I have a different opinion of religion, but that didn't change how much I enjoyed this story. I can't wait to read other books by this author!
