I was a little hesitant to read this, I'm not even going to lie. It's not that I don't like Jackson's writing (because I do), or that I thought that she would be heavy-handed and didactic and...zealous (because I didn't, really). It's just that there was the chance. I mean, a YA book that tackles vi...
MY THOUGHTSLOVED ITThis is a story about loss and love and what comes in between. As Shelby's mother is dying, she extracts three promises from Shelby: "to listen to her father, to love as much as possible, and to live without restraint". So far at age seventeen, she has had no real problems in f...
More reviews on Maji BookshelfWhen I first picked up Purity, I didn’t even read the synopsis, so you can say it is another book I picked up for its cover. However when I did read the synopsis, I was a bit put off. A girl is trying to lose her virginity because of a promise she made to her dead mothe...
At a Glance:Reading Purity was a mix of enjoyment, frustration, disappointment, laughter, and sadness for me.

As soon as I ...
Purity is a book that is going to raise questions. I can tell you that even though I enjoyed the book, I do not agree with the characters choices. That'ts just me. Despite all of that, I still enjoyed Ms. Pearce writing.The story hits right on target of teens. Teens rush to do anything. The rush to ...
I've heard that Jackson Pearce writes edgy, imaginative books, and I was excited to try her first contemporary. Two things I'll say about Purity straight off: first, it tackles the tricky subjects of religion and teen sex head on. Second, the book's premise is going to attract some people and horrif...
Review taken from my blog, The Haunting of Orchid ForsythiaPurity was my first Jackson Pearce book and while I really enjoyed the author's writing and storytelling ability, I was disappointed with the way the book ended. Besides the author's writing, what I really enjoyed while reading Purity was Sh...
This was my first time reading a book by Jackson Pearce and I have to say, she has a new fan! I just loved this book! Within the first 50 pages it had made me laugh to tears and cry from sadness. It was a complete rollercoaster of emotion, but in a good way! I recieved more than one odd look from th...
