I would highly recommend that anyone who actively considers themself Christian, or was raised Christian, doesn't read this book. I am not and have never been religious, but hearing these retellings of Christian history was unsettling. This story shook my (admittedly rocky) understanding of the Christian faith in a very disconcerting way that may harm an actively religious person.
If you want a book that is going to make you feel, this one will do it. We do get a true HEA, but even that feels a touch bittersweet.
