** spoiler alert ** This isn't one of my favorite books ever, but I did enjoy reading it. Keeping up with all of the characters was a different experience than the books I'm used to reading, but this novel was very entertaining. The ending seemed a little rushed, though I loved the way the characters intertwined.
I didn't love how some of the characters made their choices, specifically Oren Cullen. The way he acted made me uncomfortable. Most specifically that he cancelled a bible study, and left his son, Clint after he was just released from the hospital, just so Oren could go have sex with a masseuse.
My favorite relationship in the story was Euless's and Carmen's. They were so adorable, and they were both a little shy, crazy, and yet respectable. I am glad she didn't end up with Tie even though it was obvious from the beginning that she wasn't ever going to.
