To be frank, this book probably isn't for everyone. But as an ex-Mormon myself who has had to work hard to escape my childhood “religious trauma”, I found the message of this book extraordinarily relatable, and even heart-warming. I agree with some of other reviews expressing the challenge of following some of the abstract ideas and scenes portrayed in the story, but couldn't help but relate to the feelings that they brought. So if you do read this book, ex-Mormon or not, keep an open mind and understand that the author has done an excellent job of putting some of her innermost feelings into this story. There is a lot to be gained here.

I have a lot of thoughts, but not sure where to start. So here is my bottom line: if you like Stephen King's “Needful Things,” you might enjoy this book.
