I had to read this book for a course at a fundamentalist college. Can you imagine? A college course, half of the grade of which was based on garbage written by a 20-something who had no experience in dating?This was an Evangelical fad that has, thankfully, waned in popularity. Not only has it messed some teenagers' minds up, but it has also validated the insecurities of people who have grown bitter and defensive for their lack of social skills and normal relationships.
