"I love this book. Like, love it love it. My heart expanded when I read it -- yours will too!" -- Lauren Myracle, bestselling author of ttyl and ttfn, "Which is more important, remaining loyal to ideals or loyal to friends? ....The story hits at several issues relevant to teens, including freedom of speech....Tabitha's relationships, particularly with her new boyfriend and her parents, are well-executed....Readers will likely admire Tabitha's openheartedness and unwillingness to see things in black and white." -- Publishers Weekly, " Pure takes young readers through the daunting early years of high school, where hormones, alliances, obligations and relationships all start to run into one another. It's also written in McVoy's own ebullient style." --Georgia Online News Service, "First-time novelist McVoy takes on the hot topic of purity rings (hello, Jonas brothers!) and examines it from many angles. Tabitha's fast, funny, and very contemporary voice should be a hit with teens....McVoy is very successful at drawing characters kids will care about-even the parents are interesting. Anyone who has wondered about the ramifications of wearing a purity ring, both socially and religiously (and there's much thoughtful writing about Christianity here), will be left with plenty to think about." -- Booklist, "I love this book. Like, love it love it. My heart expanded when I read it -- yours will too!"-- Lauren Myracle, bestselling author ofttylandttfn
