Ok. So I would recommend this book but w/reservations because it is very religious. It questions many catholic beliefs and rituals. I am not a practicing catholic but at times felt that I was offended by some of the things that came up. Which also shows that this book is very thought-provoking. It had me questioning my beliefs and why I was feeling so conflicted. This book would be great for discussion w/a book club that has wide range of variety of likes and dislikes. I recommend this to people who can keep an open mind about their beliefs and be ok w/fiction intertwining w/truth. Enjoy!
