REVIEW:
"First off I thought [The Other Side of Life]
was extremely original. So many books these days feel like copies of
previous books and have unoriginal concepts."

EXCERPT:
The Catholic Church was opposed to birth control pills; it was a mortal
sin to use birth control pills. Chantal's case was alright, because
her pills had been prescribed for a medical condition. But it still
irritated her that contraception, homosexual behavior, pre-marital,
as well as extramarital sex were perceived to be immoral and shameful.
It irritated her that the religion she was born into could have so much
of a say in a person's personal, sexual preferences.
Chantal's spirit was like a ticking timebomb. During her catechism class,
she thought of the guy in the blue Speedos, then of Aisyah, with her
dark-lined expressive eyes and all-round sassiness. She hardly knew
the guy, but she'd always been a little intimidated, yet attracted,
to both the Speedos dude and Aisyah.
She tried sorting out her feelings. She lusted after the Speedos guy
more--it was a simpler emotion to define. It was more complicated with
Aisyah, who was a good-looking girl friend with a great personality,
very popular, into girls, and currently single. Aisyah had casually
dated a few feminine-girl types, throughout upper secondary school.
Chantal always admired Aisyah's never-morose, never-let-anyone-down
vibe, and sometimes wished she could just let loose and have some fun
too.
Organized religion felt like a yoke around her neck.
Chantal glanced up, to see what the catechist had written down on the
whiteboard at the front of the classroom:
Proverbs 17:22 "Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death
to be gloomy all the time."
What would bring good cheer? She thought of being in a threesome with
the Speedos guy and Aisyah, three of them indulging in unbridled lust.
