I understand that for this main chracter, she needed to rebel and go outside the scope of her usual life. I understand that, and I can respect that. My issue is that she forced herself to do things that she didn't necessarily seem comfortable with, and I'm not sure I like the message that sends. But, I digress. My issue had nothing to do with her purity contract and her commentary on purity culture. I appreciated the refreshing honesty that purity culture IS toxic. It's time to move on and start living my life. This summer, I'm going to ask him to take my V-card with no strings attached. My only real complaint is the story pacing feels a little off and the ending is definitely rushed. The giveaway epilogue really needs to be part of the storyline to pull it all together. Honestly, this book just makes me feel seen. Seriously, reading this story was therapeutic because it reflects many of my own experiences being raised in an evangelical home and the journey I found myself on during college to unlearn those toxic beliefs and form my own. I honestly am so happy Skyler wrote this story because so many of us women have been negatively affected by purity culture and it’s lovely seeing Livvy embark on her own path to healing and discovery. 💕

Purity by Skyler Mason | Goodreads

I understand that her character was supposed to find herself, and grow- but I just didn't care enough about her? I couldn't relate to her, and just disliked the majority of her interactions with everyone. I devoured this book! The premise, the steam, the swoons—all of it is pitch-perfect. For those of us who've been in Livvy's shoes, Purity is as healing as it is delicious." — Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author of Priest I've been in love with Cole Walker since the first day he walked into class and sat beside me. How could I not? Six foot five, gorgeous, and a sweetheart to boot. He's charming enough to get any girl he wants. It pisses me off that after he told her that, she was only thinking like "oh, I'm sure I'm going to make him change his mind and want to be with me".I can deal with it not being super spicy as long as the story is good. Unfortunately... these two protagonists like the sound of their own voices more than I did. People who enjoy reading about family dramas will love this book. Additionally, if you like mysterious stories that are a bit dark and set in a famous city, then this thriller will definitely satisfy you. Purity by Skyler Mason Review
