Rave
by Jessica Campbell
On This Page
Description
"Author Jessica Campbell (XTC69) uses frankness and dark humour to articulate Lauren's burgeoning crisis of faith and sexuality. She captures teenage antics and banter with astute comedic style, simultaneously skewering bullies, a culture of slut-shaming, and the devastating impact of religious zealotry. Rave is an instant classic, a coming of age story about the secret spaces young women create and the wider social structures that fail them."--Tags

I'm sorry, but Mariah was irking me in the beginning. She came off too pushy and crass though it worked in Lauren's favor to realize how harsh and constraining her upbringing was. It even led to first love. But the ending was sad just so y'know with those this was a very special episode vibes.
the pastor making his pregnant daughter basically ask the congregation for forgiveness was gross. :( then, ol' girl was smoking a cigarette. forget the baby, dang. >.>
A lot happens in this quiet little story. I'll definitely check out more from this author if/when she makes more.
