4.0

This is a well-written story with well-developed characters who are real people who are transformed over the course of the book due to various events and people they meet. It's not packed with action or thrills but there's something so compelling about it that I had a hard time putting it down at night and I ended up staying up much later than intended, reading one more chapter, one more chapter. I would have done better to sit and read larger chunks of it on the weekend and get more rest during the week. Anyway, I am not going to get into specifics about the plot but I don't understand why people are confused about this book. Some reviewers found the POV confusing, because it switched between "so many" characters. TWO. Not difficult to keep track of. Also people seem confused about the church part of it because the characters spend so much time at church yet it's not a religious book. What is confusing about that? Because it is set in a church, is it expected to have a bunch of moralizing and preaching?
Anyway, I am terrible at writing reviews but this is a very good book.
