I felt that this book took so long to get going and ended up absolutely nowhere. Really the only thing that kept me going was the hope that something truly amazing/crazy would happen. But it never did. 
 I also felt the alternating timelines in the book to gradually become a chore. I didn't like the arc with Emilio talking to all the priests; none of whom you really get to know and all of whom come across as a*holes even in the end. The only thing I can say I did enjoy, were the characters of Anne and Emilio. They were very entertaining and I could certainly connect with them. Everyone else must have been there only to fill out the group because I can't say I got to know much or cared about what happened to them (which was also a complete letdown to read about). Bottom line is: I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. More like 2 1/2 stars from me.
