“Ruth and Tim, the main characters, could have been distilled to compact clichés, but Perrotta’s mature voice and compassion for people of all shapes and sizes prevents that. Simultaneously, the storyline is a bold social commentary and an empathetic examination of the so-called “differences” that seemingly separate us. Whatever position the reader plays on the field of sexuality ed—abstinence dialogue, s/he will come away with an appreciation of how the larger debate wears away at the individual players. ”
