Title: So Very Disappointed
Review: I had reservations about it when my small group decided to give this book a whirl, and although I was game and tried to like it, I just couldn't.Liz's overfamiliar style, her judgemental tone, and pandering to churchy already-good-girls reads like a book that reinforces smugness among the churched.I especially did not like the way she glossed over the difference in 21st Century standards for women, and instead just judged them against today's free-er women's options and opportunities.I will say that we had many good conversations because we read the book, but in the end, we were all severely disappointed in the book itself.Examples of what I mean: some of the "bad girl" scenarios seemed like she was stretching to fill pages, "bad for a good reason" - what?, or nattering on and on about David's sin with Bathsheba - wait, he's not a girl!
