"Faking Faith" by Josie Bloss

Dylan did the thing that girls always swear not to do.

Dylan let a guy come between her and her two best friends.

Things for Dylan quickly fall apart when her so-called-boyfriend cheats on her and then circulates compromising pictures of Dylan around school.

Dylan's world is turned upside down by the "sexting" incident, and her parents are too busy to help much.

She soon stumbles upon a blog of homeschooled fundamentalist Christian girls and immediately is drawn into a world nothing like her own.

Hope chests?  Chaperoned courtships?  Wifely submission?

Whoa.

Desperate for a new beginning, Dylan weaves a lie, joining the blog under the alter-ego "Faith," and begins blogging as a fellow devout and wholesome fundamentalist Christian gal.

Dylan is forced to choose.  Come clean?  Or continue living a lie.



What other teens think about this book:

  • I couldn't stop crying.  It wasn't sad or anything, it was the fact that it was wonderful and inspiring.  I loved the book.  -Jackie H., 14
