The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams

(Summary from Goodreads)

Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in an isolated community without questioning the fact that her father has three wives and she has twenty brothers and sisters, with two more on the way. That is, without questioning them much---if you don’t count her secret visits to the Mobile Library on Wheels to read forbidden books, or her meetings with Joshua, the boy she hopes to choose for herself instead of having a man chosen for her.

But when the Prophet decrees that she must marry her sixty-year-old uncle---who already has six wives---Kyra must make a desperate choice in the face of violence and her own fears of losing her family forever.

8/10 I could give this a higher rating, since I really did like this book, but there were a few things that bothered me. One being the format. This was another book with interjecting flashbacks, and sometimes it worked, but sometimes it was just kinda inconvenient almost. Also, religion is a big part of the plot, but I got annoyed by the constant mentions of God etc. and how the religion just constricts everyone's lifestyle. Maybe that's just me being Atheist, but I dunno...and now I'm gonna stop being controversial and continue with the review. The ending was also a huge disappointment for me. I know I've mentioned this before, but I hate endings where you have to interpret what happens to a character. Also, the whole situation at the end was just so random to me. However, the story was so unique and captivating and the theme of family and love and happiness were executed very well.
