This book makes for a great beach read. Very simple, straight-forward story about a doctor's office in which the dynamics and roles of co-workers constantly change. The plot doesn't get too difficult, so it was easy for me to put down and come back to a couple of days later, without forgetting the background. The story is told from the all-knowing office receptionist's point of view. One thing I did not enjoy reading about was the religious turmoil, although it is necessary for the plot of the story. It is exactly this type of incident that turns me off from any type of religious activity, and I do not care to read about such type of fraud. I'm not sure how to feel about the ending, since it is quite unusual and leaves the reader filled with questions. Even so, I feel that the author did an excellent job in keeping the reader entertained and wondering what will happen next.
