As a queer woman who was raised Catholic (and no longer practices), I loved this book! Agatha’s character was so loveable and I saw a lot of myself in her.

The writing was well done, but I don't feel the story line and characters lived up to it. I did enjoy Agatha as a character, but also wanted much more of her and from her. I can see both sides of readers who enjoyed it and those who didn't.

Moderate: Suicide and Animal cruelty

A clever book that ranges from quirky and funny to sad and reflective. The type of slow paced novel where not a whole lot happens and yet you keep reading.
Pretty strong for a debut novel although the characters were a bit flatter than I would have liked, and I would have enjoyed a deeper exploration of some of the themes.

Overall this book raises more questions than it answers and I think that's the point.
