Helpful Score: 2

This book gave me an uncomfortable feeling. Coming from a similar background like Delilah ( raised Orthodox, Jewish day schools and college) I knew girls who had similar "attributes" and ideas, but never to the degree Delilah had. While Ragen tells us in the introduction that Delilah's story is a composite of stories she has accumulated over the years, I still find it hard to swallow. I guess that means the book did what it was suppposed to- Ragen says she doesn't want us to root for Delilah. Frankly, I see no winners in this book at all. It was well written- I was hooked on the story- and although the end is not tied up in a neat package- I would like to imagine everyone got what they deserved.
If you were not a fan of her other books, don't attempt this one.
