I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. As the book came closer and closer to the end, I was completely in the dark about how it would end - lots of tension!
Having grown up in a fundementalist church, I recognized many of the characters. I thought the author did a good job of highlighting the contrast between "church" life and the rest of "real" life - and how hard it can be to reconcile the two.
I was happy with the ending. Things went in a direction that I found very satisfying.

I really liked this book. The writing is outstanding and I felt a lot of mixed emotion in this tale of longing, religion and vulnerability.
I couldn't decide who I identified with more? The lonely single mother or the recovering addict who has accepted Jesus Christ as his everything.
"Little Children" and "Election" are two of my favorite films (both Perrotta books), so I can't wait to dive into the rest of his work!
