When She Woke

I really wanted to love this book. Instead, I liked it a lot, but I did not love it. It took awhile to get going, but once it did it really rolled. I never read the Scarlet Letter, so I am not sure how close it is to that. For me, it was more like The Handmaid's Tale. It was unclear to me whether religion (well, Christianity) was the bad guy or the good guy or just a weapon to be used against people. Hannah is a great character-very strong! I felt like I could have spent more time with Kayla. Maybe there will be a sequel with Kayla's adventures.
As far as a crossover into YA lit, sure, I know some teens that would dig this book and I would not think twice about recommending this title to them.
A good read!
