The concept of saving yourself for marriage is not new. Deciding to abstain and become a virgin again after having numerous sexual encounters is also not new. What was interesting was that she ends up marrying and duping a priest and then had to deal with the resulting fall out. I was drawn into the book by the beginning where she hooks up with this guy who dupes her into believing he is sincere, she has sex with him then he dumps her . I didn't like her best friend who basically was encouraging her to 'put out'. I empathised with the main character because she just simply wanted respect but wasn't getting it because of her previous male partners. The ending was fitting. She almost loses her husband because of her lies. I like that it was not easy but that his anger and betrayal were realistically portrayed.
