As I giggled my way through this romantic romp via the eyes of a protected Catholic teenager, there were times I wondered whether the attendees of our book club would connect. My 8th grade public school ladies often clamor for a "book about love," but would they make it through all the parochial schoolness and saints to see the gem of this story!? I hope they try. I'm sure they would like Antonia, the hard-working Catholic school girl who's pining after the handsome Andy Rotellini--and overlooking her friend, Michael McGinnis, because of his "player" reputation. Yes, she's a busy gal what with applying to the Vatican for sainthood, working in the family restaurant, and dealing with the drama of high school, friends, and family....but none of that was boring in the least.
