It became an examination of what we really should value and what should really come first.
I like how the book took the story from there on.
He questioned his every action towards Raina making it a point that all the Christian principles and teachings that was taught to him are applied.
The questions about what he needs to do and what he must not do begun surfacing. During that stay, sexual tension arose and Craig was caught off guard. They became so close to each other until Raina invited Craig to spend a couple of days at their house. The two immediately clicked together and became inseparable. There’s Raina, whom he meet at a church camp. The book follows how his life growing up in that religious and conservative family, the adventures and games he and his brother had gone through growing up from peeing each other to traversing unknown and prohibited places, his church camp experiences that did not serve its purpose, the bullying he had to endure from his peers, his drawings that served as his coping mechanism, his search for answers about his faith and how others view it, his quest in finding love and what it means to be in love amidst the sexual tension. He reads the Bible everyday and whenever he’s in doubt of something that he plans to do, he finds solace in it. He was raised as this all too perfect Christian boy. The book is of Craig from his childhood to early adulthood growing up in Wisconsin.
