The book is listed as a "romantic comedy," which is the first I've heard for a book. There was romance, but not a lot of comedy. I saw no mention on the book anywhere that it was "religious" at all, but toward the end there was a chapter where the character had quite a discussion with another character about Jesus and salvation. I didn't find that it added anything to the story though. It almost seemed like the author was just trying to witness to the reader and this seemed like the best way to do it. Aside from that, the story was okay and there were a few times I found myself turning pages in anticipation of what was next. Not my favorite book, but not my least favorite either.
