Throughout the novel, we are thrown back and forth between a time when Nomi’s Mom and sister were still in town, and three years later when Nomi was left alone to deal with her father. Honestly, I’ve read a lot of predictable books before and they got very boring, very quickly. But with this book, it always switched between time frames so I didn’t know what was going to happen next. My interest level was high page after page and I always looked forward to reading. This book was also very refreshing, mostly because the topic was random. I mean, how often do you hear of a girl rebelling in a mennonite town? Mennonites are supposed to be civil, follow the rules of the town, and love their religion, but Nomi Nickel does the exact opposite. She listens to obscene music, can’t stop touching her boyfriend, and smokes her fair share of marijuana. The experiences Nomi goes through are abnormal for a mennonite girl and thats why I was stayed
