Perhaps I've expected too much from this book or it isn't just my type of book because I was extremely disappointed after reading it. I almost didn't finish it and I actually had to skipped a few pages. I liked the main characters here but there are tons of factors that totally turned me off. 
 These are some of my concerns about the story: 
 1. Religion stuff overload. (the whole homosexuality and the Mormon's stand was just too excessive for me.) Usually, I don't mind a book with a religious undertone but this one just got on my nerves too much and I feel like getting indoctrined myself (no offense meant). Arrrggghhh so frustrating! 2. Ruth. Like seriously, she's the most annoying secondary character ever! 3. There's too much medical terms. 
 I feel that the book tried so hard to convey so many reasoning regarding homosexuality and religion but it turns out flat. Perhaps, it's just me since it actually has a very good rating on some review sites. But hey, to each his own :) Peace out! 
 Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
