This one reads like a memoir, but it's fiction. Mayla isn't your typical looking Christian. She has purple hair and multiple piercings. But she really is committed to giving her life to Christ.
Mayla is a very appealing character. It was a great reminder that you really can't judge a person by what's on the outside. She just has a big capacity to love without reserve. Her friends ask her to visit a dying stranger in the hospital. She isn't excited about it at first, but she can't help making a friend. And I couldn't help rooting for her. A fun book.
Oh, and the goodreads summary of the book must be about a totally different book, because it's nothing like this one.

A funny, realistic account detailing the life of a new Christian. There's a lot of novels that stop once the main character comes to Christ, and there's a lot where the Christian main character goes through a difficult time in their faith, but hardly any where it's a brand new Christian changing her life.

I obtained this book as a free download for my Kindle and was pleasantly surprised! Christian fiction is something I would not even second glance at normally.
Without getting into religious debate, to sum the book up, the Authour takes you on a journey of self discovery through the main character "Mayla" and how she deals with prejudice on both sides of the coin.
The only part that disappoints is how Mayla conforms to how one should look when one is Christian, when really what happened is her rebellious phase was over and she had grown up! I think the author could have explored that a little better.
Altogether though this was an enjoyable light read and have added the second book to my wishlist :)
