Bad Mormon: A Memoir

I...liked this? Surprise surprise, but honestly not very surprising because I had a feeling I would, just based on the title and well, I was right.
Heather struck me as very honest in this book, and sometimes even too honest. Bad Mormon had a good balance of giving enough details about something that happened and not giving too many to make it dull, but by the end I still wanted more.
I also liked that Heather did her own narration, it was funny and emotional in parts.
I've read quite a few Mormon books now, whether mainstream or offshoot, and it feels like in every single branch the kids are confused about what happens in the Temple. Like a universal experience I guess? So I'm very thankful that Heather decided to share what actually goes on inside for everyone reading this.
And I know she probably shouldn't have, but you know what, I'M NOSY, SORRY. Some parts of it I already knew from other books and research, other parts were new to me. So who says you can't learn anything from a celebrity memoir? Certainly not me.
It was definitely short though, easy to get through in a day. And most of it was Heather's life leading up to the show (not complaining), but that's also why it feels like parts are missing. So I'm hoping Heather pulls a Bobbie Brown and writes another memoir in the future, following her Real Housewives days.

My dad's Mormon. He raised me Mormon. When I was 8 I was like jo thanks! Never once did I even think about the temple. Now adays, all anyone has to do is Google it if they are curious. People sneak cameras in there.. not so secret anymore

People sneak..."I'm glad you found your way out of it :) and that's true, I know NewNameNoah is one channel that posts videos inside the temple.
