Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life

Initially, I picked up this book because a student had donated it to the classroom library. The title and back seemed intriguing. And though I enjoyed her voice and her intellectual approach, I will say that I was confused when the plot left a straight through and started jumping around in different years.
Yes, there were moments when I was challenged in my own faith, but this book also left a lot of questions. There's a lack of reflection on the writer's own part in resolving her own questions about whether this change in faith would be permanent, how she combats her infatuation with men of different faith, how those men seem to influence her own faith, and what it really means to reconcile relationships with other faiths. There seems to be a lot of new chapters in her life, but very few inter-religious friendships that remain.
Still a good read...just not the best memoir I've read.
