I expected this book to be a fun cute read. And it was, but it was also more than that. This really was a coming of age story for Holly. She is a true numbers girl as Dax called her. She is outwardly emotionless- analytical, logical and a “fixer”. The Chapel Wars is about Holly… Read more »

Each extreme in their own ways. Victoria Scott did such an excellent job bringing these awful conditions… Read more »
