Just one lone book this week from Flux. I loved, loved, LOVED Josie's last book, ALBATROSS, so much that I just had to get this one too.

FAKING FAITH by Jose Bloss

Thanks to a humiliating and painfully public sexting incident, Dylan has become the social pariah of her suburban Chicago high school. She's ignored by everyone - when she's not being taunted - and estranged from her two best friends.

So when Dylan discovers the blogs of homeschooled fundamentalist Christian girls, she's immediately drawn into their fascinating world of hope chests, chaperoned courtships, and wifey submission. Blogging as Faith, her devout and wholesome alter ego, Dylan befriends Abigail, the online group's queen bee. After staying with Abigail and her family for a few days, Dylan begins to grow closer to Abigail (and her intriguingly complicated older brother). Soon, Dylan is forced to choose: keep living a lie . . . or come clean and face the consequences. (book back blurb)
