Molly Mormon

I don't read a lot of LDS YA books, but I really enjoyed this one. Set in a very Mormon town surrounded by all levels of Mormons, I found a lot to relate to in comparison to my own teenage years. I felt the author did a great job of showing that even in a community of 'saints' we all have to find our own testimony and that life isn't perfect. I enjoy the books in the rest of the series as well and love being able to see Molly confront challenges of every time in her life.

This book is a great book no matter what anyone below may say about the cover. The title is perfect and absolutely hilarious and appropriate if you know anything about Mormon culture. There are very few books of LDS fiction that really show what our teens are like and the struggles they face. I don't often enjoy teen fiction, but I liked this book, and my two teenage daughters devoured it! How wonderful to know there are writers who uphold our beliefs instead of trying to compare them negatively to the world's standards. I love the author's humor and talent. Way to go!

It was refreshing to read a book written by someone who understands the complexities of trying to do the right thing as a mormon in a mormon culture. It's hard to stand up for yourself when the ones against you are the same ones in your same Sunday School classes. The humor was fabulous. Each chapter began with an anecdote that made my sides hurt from laughing. Well done!!!!

THis book is so great. If you are or aren't a Mormon, you'll enjoy this book. Its about finding out who you really are...as a teenager. It talks about the stress of being a teen and the trauma, tradgedy and success you can and do have. I recommend this book! :)
