Review: 

I enjoyed this book! 
Lola and Drew are high school seniors doing what most teenagers do at some time. They are driving around and talking. Lola envisions their life together with getting married and the whole American Dream deal. However, Drew freaks out at this revelation because he is a senior in high school and wants to keep his options open because everything that Lola is imagining is final and he still wants to live. This led to an argument between the two and Lola got out of Drew's car and slammed the door, while Drew thought she just needed time to cool off. He was proved wrong when Lola didn't return home and Drew realized he made a huge mistake when she didn't turn on her phone. No one knows what happened to Lola and the sheriff thinks he murdered her. 
Then, you have this teen that wakes up in the ditch and she is hurting everywhere. Although she does not know her name and cannot remember anything. So after refusing to go get checked out with EMS, she is taken to the Sheriff's station then soon a frantic man arrives with pictures, a birth certificate, and things like that for a girl named Mary. This girl looked like the girl in the pictures, so who was the Sheriff's officer to not allow the girl to go with this man? But, who is he really?
I loved this book, a fast-paced read that kept you on your toes and that twist at the ending was really the salvation of this book making it a 5-star read for me! 
Thank you Netgalley and Sourcefirebooks for the extraordinary opportunity to read and review this one!

My Review of Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones

​ Title: Sex Cult Nun  Author: Faith Jones  Published: November 30, 2021  Published by: William Morrow Books  Genre: True Crime/Memior  Pages: 400  Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Review:  I'm giving this book 5 stars. The reason for the five stars is the rawness and the transparency of this author that she went into the details that she knew would bother a lot of people, she went to the deepest and darkest times in her life and she put them on blast. She blasted her truth from the rooftops for not only herself but for everyone that is not able to share their truth.  This book has an abundance of disturbing and disgusting content and a lot of underage sexual abuse and rape. That is the part that is hard to read about, but her courage to share it and write it is very eye-opening. I did not agree with he whole sharing and polygamy but with each their own. I know I would not want to share my spouse with another person. The whole child abuse and sexual abuse...
