Not So Pure and Simple by Lamar Giles
5.0
I found this book hilarious.
I loved Del's tone and his voice. The writing just flowed so well. The story follows Del as he makes some very questionable decisions when he accidentally joins a church group that vows to not have sex before marriage. This book called out toxic masculinity in a way that wasn't preachy and gave amazing examples of the different standards held between men and women in society. All the characters were layered and interesting and I loved not knowing all their motives because of Del's skewed POV. It made the story more compelling.
It was a highly entertaining, insightful, and great read.
