Let me start by saying I am not Catholic and know little about the technicality of Catholicism as used in the book. I can see where a devout Catholic could be upset or feel Mr. Bell was irreverent at different points.That being said, I loved the main character. I felt drawn to her and even within the tight limits of a a short novella, could sense her struggle between the woman she used to be and the woman she's choosing to be. I loved her sarcastic comments -- and even though they constantly land her in trouble with others, I see realism in them because the tongue is the hardest thing to control ... particularly if you've lived a significant portion of your life not controlling it.For those desiring clean fiction, while Mr. Bell clearly strives to present some delicate matters tastefully, a little "soft language" is in the book. It is completely within reason for the particular characters and I sensed it was purposely reduced and softened for the audience. Truthfully, I would expect to hear far worse on the streets of L.A.Overall, this was great read and had me giggling many times. I'd love to see more to this series.
