Under Threat

This book would be a wonderful vehicle to start discussion with teenagers about religious extremism and domestic (i.e. christian) terrorism but as a novel unto itself, seems rather heavy-handed.

Our narrator, Franny, is traumatized by repeated threats to her doctor parents (both abortion providrs) and ends up lashing out at her girlfriend's brother for his ignorant views and possibly alienating her beloved forever. But they make up and its fine. I think this book could have been much more nuanced if it had been told from the perspective of Leah, the girlfriend.

I recieved this book free from Orca through GoodReads.
