9/10
Disclaimer: The is alcohol, language, sex and violence
Pattyn lives in a religious yet abusive home Burned is her story, of living with 7 sisters, and alcoholic dad, and a church that supresses worm. She tarts to quesion what her life means, her inevitable role as a mohter and wife, true love, and if love really evn exists. Then she starts to get into trouble; drinking sneeking out to parties, and getting in fights. One day her father cahches her with a boy and sends her to Nevada to spend the summer with her Aunt. In Nevada she finds love and a new life, and learns about her old life and just how cruel her dad can really be.
Pattyn tells her story of love, life, and pain through her poems and journals, to teenage girls struggling with love and religion. I would recommend this book to all teenage girls, with or without issues.Its a great book, fast paced, and there is hardly ever a dull moment. However Mormons might take offense to some of the things she says about the church
