Had I known going into this book that i'd have religious preaching about (view spoiler)[abortions and sex before marriage (hide spoiler)] thrown at me from every page then I'd never have picked it up. I think the author was trying to get across that it's okay to be young and have religious viewpoints but it doesn't translate and comes across as extremely judgemental of anyone who doesn't choose that lifestyle. 
 I HATED the main character the entire way through, she tried to take this holy than thou high ground with everyone she met like she was better than them all because of choices they've made or were making, instead of just letting people be who they want to be and worrying about herself. She thinks absolutely everything in life is a sin and nothing was ever her fault. If you enjoy reading books about people with a massive victim complex then you'll love Kate. Then she spent the whole book shocked about why she was being called out for being a dick. I'd like to say I felt some character progress with her but despite trying to make some amends here and there, even in the end she was too preachy for me. 
 I don't think Miranda Kenneally and I are meant to be, this is the 3rd book i've read by her and the 3rd book i've disliked.
