The Anti-hero

Sara Cate books, to me, are like junk food, no nutritional value but are so good I can't have just one.

I loved how the religious indoctrination was woven throughout the story and that people in power will always be hypocrites when it comes to what they actually do. And even speaking as a former Catholic turned full atheist, I did appreciate that he still had his faith in the end and didn't fully denounce it completely as that would have been far too unrealistic for that to come about so quickly.

However, much like a lot of her other books, it suffers so much from telling us information verses showing us, or just giving us time skips with what have been good for character development. Another thing that I felt suffered in this is that they didn't feel fully fleshed out as characters either. I could tell you Sage likes tattoos and her book club, but what's her favorite color? What else does she like to do?

But much like Sara Cates other books, I eat this shit up in one sitting, as her books are so easy to read and comprehend. I want a book with the mother discovering her sexuality! We need more books with older MCs!

Also, the nickname Peaches is the fucking worst and brought me out of it every time.

4 stars because her stuff is entertaining, and I can't get enough.
