I read Fire Girl while it was still going through the editing process as a beta reader. I loved it! I was pulled in from the beginning and it held my interest until the very last page.Fire Girl has a rich cast of characters that I really fell in love with. They felt like dear friends by the last page, and I was sad to see them go when I finished reading.The author perfectly captured that small-town feel in the setting. I was immersed in the story. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would happen next.Fire Girl is LDS fiction at its very best. The main character goes on a journey of faith that feels real and not at all preachy. The author handled the religious aspects of the book incredibly well. It was a book about a character with a struggle of faith, not a book about a struggle of faith that just happened to have characters. This really was Maddie's story, and I felt like I was beside her through every step of her journey.This book will appeal to everyone from tweens to adults! It's one of those books I will return to over and over again through the years.
