Review: Worth the Effort
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book was a hot mess, but one I did find a great story buried in. At the beginning, I thought it was YA but it morphs into a darker, grittier story with pretty detailed sex scenes (along with a bit of religious preaching?) I was confused to say the least. The lack of editing was distracting but I did find myself putting in the effort to go back and reread sentences to try and figure out what the author meant. And I did that because there's a great story here. A story about growing up, coming into your own, redemption, love, hope. The main characters, Tori and Sterling, are well fleshed out, and I found myself really captivated by them. Great storyteller, wish it had been properly edited.
