You know when you are promised a really awesome surprise and then when you get the surprise it’s brussels sprouts or something? That’s how I felt when I finished this book. Now don’t get me wrong, it was a great story, the ending was just disappointing.
Mina is the top of her class; straight A’s, most popular boyfriend in school, the two best friends a girl could ask for, a great job, and a pretty great family. Then this creepy old lady comes into her work one night talking about protecting Mina and her baby. A few weeks later, Mina finds out she’s pregnant…except she’s a virgin. The story gets out and people start telling her she is going to Hell if she keeps the story up and they keep getting angrier when she won’t give it up. You’re probably thinking what I was thinking when I was reading it, why is Mina pregnant, is this a modern day Jesus? Unfortunately we never find out. Spoiler alert: Mina tells everyone the baby dies, moves to New York, and that’s the end of the book. WHAT?!?! I read this whole thing and that’s how you’re gonna end it Detweiler?!?! I mean, come on, really?
If you like reading books that have no answers to them, this ones for you.
