While sweet and funny, almost syrupy sweet, this book was a tad bit unrealistic to me, yet it was a nice, innocent read. The characters actions and thought processes throughout the book were much more juvenile than their age and careers would suggest.  It was a lot of guessing 'does she like me' 'does he like me', mis reading of words or actions instead of someone being an adult and saying 'I like you can we get to know each other and see where this can go' instead their pastor and his wife try to initiate it with the two confused people and they miss the point at every turn, plus the pastor and his wife seemed a little too nosey and involved in their lack of love affair. The book is very predictable, I just think it was dragged out, there were to many instances of jumping to juvenile conclusions, them constantly wondering if they were on a date or just being polite as friends, for crying out loud they are 27 and 30, neither acted like it, for instance her brother Kyle came to visit and was just teasing her about writing home to her Mom about some guy(Which was Mac) and she was really about to cry because Mac was there like she was 12 years old, then Mac getting upset as usual thinking it was about another guy, they never discussed their feelings for each other even when in points of the book you figured they both should just know.  It really is syrupy sweet, and while I wasn't looking for or expecting sex or anything of that nature, I thought it was unrealistic that two adults would be 'attracted' to each other in another kind of way even in thought,  not saying it has to be acted upon but acknowledged, what grown person talks to the pastor about holding hands?? Christians have eyes too, the overwhelming purity is a little far fetched and a little too sweet for people of their age and career status. But overall, it was a nice, easy, innocent read.
