I would recommend if you’re into true crime stuff. It was very interesting. I’m glad I gave it a listen even though I’m not particularly interested in columbine, it was a good read.

I found the book to be very interesting. A peek into a very secretive country!

It’s pretty good, but unbearable narrator!

The narrator is almost unbearable. I wonder if I’d have liked this book a bit more if the narrator wasn’t so bad! Anyway, I have to start by saying that I’m genuinely surprised by how crappy this book is when compared to her sisters book. The majority of this book is Elissa coming across as a whining teenager. Which is odd since she’s recounting the story as an adult. While I understand that she went through bad stuff, there’s so much victimhood to read through. She pittys herself so much it’s almost unbearable yet she does nothing to change her circumstances but all the while she can rebel the Flds in every other way. That made no sense to me. She literally defied their rules in just about every way. So she had the nerve to do that but not just leave?

But I definitely agree with others in the reviews who said that Elissa glazes over a lot of critical info/ detail. I was really put off by just how much she skips over. It felt very strange to me that she’d do that. An example of this is when she mentions how the restaurant she worked at accused her of stealing. She tells us that but nothing more. I found that really weird. Elissa feels like a personality I just can’t connect with. I don’t know why but I just didn’t find myself liking her or identifying with her in any way.

I’ve read almost all the FLDS books. I was captivated by Carolyn Jessop’s book “escape”. That one was great. Carolyn’s story telling made you feel as if you were walking through it, whereas this one doesn’t. Carolyns narrative was clearer and more concise to me. Carolyn was also much more humble.

But I would still say this one is worth reading if you can get past the horrible narrator! I’ve also read Elissa’s sisters book, Rebecca Musser, “ the witness wore red”. I felt that one was also better than this one too. Flora Jessops Book is another one I’ve read too. That one was a bit harder to get through since it was so dark being that she was molested by her father. And then last, I’d also recommend the book by Rachel Jeffs, the daughter of the prophet, Warren Jeffs. That one was very good as well!

I didn’t like it. I hate the way Julia narrates the book. I used audible to listen and she’s very very dramatic. I also wanted to learn step by step what happened in her world living in an orthodox community however she skips around so much jumping from different ages and telling one big event every five years. It’s hard to get engrossed in it, as I do with so many other books. She really doesn’t bother to describe anyone either or their perspective etc. She really does just focus on herself, like so many others in the reviews mentioned. So you don’t get the full perspective with the other people in her world. I also thought it was strange that she left out so many experiences, details of what life was like and what was expected when she was young. Even her wedding felt like so many things were left out. I don’t know. I just wasn’t able to connect at all. I thought I would for sure, but I didn’t.

I read Amanda’s book and I was just so fascinated by this case. I don’t know why but I wasn’t hyped to read Raffaeles book initially but finally I decided to go for it and I was NOT disappointed! Highly recommend!
