Tabitha and her four best friends all wear purity rings, symbols of the virginity-until-marriage pledge they made years ago. Now Tab is fifteen, and her ring has come to mean so much more. It’s a symbol of who she is and what she believes—a reminder of her promises to herself, and her bond to her friends. But when Tab meets a boy whose kisses make her knees go weak, everything suddenly seems a lot more complicated. Tab’s best friend, Morgan, is far from supportive, and for the first time, Tabitha is forced to keep secrets from the one person with whom she’s always shared everything. When one of those secrets breaks to the surface, Tab finds herself at the center of an unthinkable betrayal that splits her friends apart. As Tab’s entire world comes crashing down around her, she’s forced to re-examine her friendships, her faith, and what exactly it means to be pure.
Before I go any further let me clear something up. This book is for anyone, young or old, gal or guy, Christian or not...It really grabs hold of your heart and makes your ears want to hear what the main character is saying. You really get attached to McVoy's voice, and I was sad when I finished Pure.
This book is honestly one of the best ones--if you're looking for a heart-wrenching, romantic, comedy (in some ways), chic flick-ish, spiritual, uptodate book.
Tabitha is a well-drawn character, as are the rest of the characters. They're all very well put, together young girls and then, when one of them needs them the most, they're torn apart. It very much reminds me of some personal experiences, even though they may not have been so serious.
I love the honesty that McVoy portrays in the life of a teen. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, you may cuss out your best friend. Yeah, you may want to hit something when you don't know what to wear. But somewhere in the midst of all that there's the falling-in-love, maturing person that you've been looking for all along.
Cover Comments:
The cover is sort of eye-grabbing, and when I saw the cover it sort of drew me to it if you know what I mean. :)
All in all, Pure by Terra Elan McVoy is one of the best books I've read, and I give it a 9/10.!! =]]
