Very sanitized. Maybe would've been better as a forward in a Bible study but definitely doesn't read like a memoir.
I also want to add that I read this book at a very interesting time in my life as I am lightly “dis-entangling” from the Calvinist and Baptist pastors she keeps quoting in this book. I still stand that this book doesn't really feel complete and I predict that there will be more from her.
ok ok I'm not SUPER informed on the Duggars, I never watched their show or anything, but I watched the Shiny Happy People documentary and saw this book and decided to check it out, and it was a little jarring bc Jinger here wants to speak out against Gothard but NOT her family (and barely addresses the Josh sexual assault situation and over and over says how great and supportive her parents were, which..........)
ANYWAY so for me, looking to kind of rubberneck at their situation, this wasn't really the book for me and I ended up skimming a lot of it, because a lot of it is just like...Bible study. I think folks who are Christians and maybe specifically grew up with the Basic Life Principles thing, would get more out of this.
