Black Sheep

For me, this book opened pretty well and had a lot of content I could relate to in the first half or so. It felt well paced at that point and had a lot of comments that resonated with me as someone who grew up in a very religious family but didn't feel like I belonged. While I recognize that the protagonist might be grating to some, I enjoyed her POV and commentary, especially early on. Even though most of the plot beats were predictable to me, I did still enjoy the story being told. I think the perspective of the protagonist helped make it feel more fresh. Later on, maybe in about the last third of the novel, I felt like the pace slowed and dragged out a bit too much for my liking. While the ending felt like it wrapped up well and didn't just suddenly fix everything, it wasn't quite satisfying to me. I'd still recommend people give this book a shot if it interests them. I don't think it's a bad book at all, just wasn't a favorite of mine.
