I couldn't get past the first meeting in the story. The first day of school. The subject just made me too mad to even keep reading. I guess I'm not ready for this yet. I'll try again later.
I put off reading this book because I couldn't stomach the tension of reading some "current controversy", tense and depressing book, a la Jodi Poucault. I ended up reading it as an alternative to all the lengthy history books on my bedside table. It was far lighter than I expected, and very hard to put down. I read it in about 24 hours. It has been criticized for being stereotypical--of evangelical Christians, and of gays--and for not being as well-developed as other Perrotta novels, but it definitely demonstrates his ability to draw readers in, and I'll seek out more of his books, with less trepidation!

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook about real characters dealing with real problems including sex, relationships, religion, and more. Very absorbing; many laugh-out-loud and "no way!" moments. Highly recommended. ( )
Listened to this book and really enjoyed it. Raised lots of interesting questions. Would be a good discussion book. Both people trapped by their situations, seems to have a happy ending but ???? ( )

On the first day of Human Sexuality, Ruth Ramsey wore a short lime green skirt, a clingy black top, and strappy high-heeled sandals, the kind of attention-getting outfit she normally wouldn't have worn on a date--not that she was going on a lot of dates these days--let alone to work.

In terms of the misery they'd spared humanity over the years--the unwanted pregnancies, the horrible diseases, the disrupted young lives--she would have happily placed the humble rubber right up there beside antibiotics and childhood vaccines in the pantheon of Public Health marvels of the Modern World.
