RHOSLC’S HEATHER GAY RELLS HOW SHE MET JEN SHAH: BIGGT REVELATNS FROM ‘BAD MORMON’

Gay speaks of growg up the LDS church, and the challeng she faced g of age; big life cisns, marriage, kids, bs, divorce, and, of urse, the show. However, as a profsnal book reviewer who attend BYU and has lived Utah for over a , I feel uniquely qualified to give a fair review of Heather Gay's btsellg memoir.

I'm not here to tell you how I felt about the book but to give you an ia about how you'll likely feel readg Bad bswoman and realy star Heather Gay was raised as a member of The Church of J Christ of Latter-day Sats but publicly left the relign durg the first season of The Real Hoewiv of Salt Lake Cy.

I thought Gay was a pretty good wrer for an amatr. And that pends on your relatnship wh Heather Gay and the LDS church.

The RHOSLC ntent don't e until the very end and Gay giv background tail about the start of the show, but no juicy gossip about her stmat.

Gay may gloss over her personal life, but she is very ndid about her experience the LDS Church. Gay was not a ge LDS or an extremist; her life was very much the realm of the typil mastream Mormon experience.

RHOSLC'S HEATHER GAY FALLY COM CLEAN ABOUT HER BLACK EYE MYSTERY

Gay go to mute tail about the relign, specifilly about the temple ceremony that members hold very sacred. Although their personal experienc will obvly vary om Gay's many regards, such rears will likely fd Gay's story highly relatable.

I thk 10-20 years, down the road, would have allowed a more mature (I mean a few more life experienc and a dig) Heather Gay, to wre a memoir wh more pth and soul.

Nothg of, no reason to read on unls you are terted my unique perspective about Heather Gay, the LDS Church relatn to this memoir and livg on the edge for most of my life...... The LDS church might be sug Heather Gay over the name but they have zero grounds to stand on and after the last few years of negative publicy, they should probably back off while they n, pecially bee the majory of every current member, unr the age of 25 uld probably be nsired a "Bad Mormon.
