Oh and it has a bazillion forced allusions to hardcore Christianity, and the book is a thinly-veiled rail against unwed sex.

For serious. Google any of these claims, they are so true it's sad.
Apparently she's mormon, but who cares if it glorifies abstinence? I've never heard of anything negative coming out of a little chastity. Unless you count blue balls.
