(4) YA Joshua had a crush on Maddie when they were kids. When she returns to his father's church all grown-up, wearing a tight dress and purple lipstick, he begins a clumsy mission to redeem the wild, beautiful girl but ends up saving himself instead. Despite awkward characterizations, Joshua's earnest exploration of his faith is touching and authentic.
