Query: The first half is interesting but the second is far too preachy

Spoiler warningThe first half of the book is very interesting and goes at a reasonable pace. The Christian theme is subtle and adds quite nicely to the story. However, the second half is far too preachy for me and I lost all sympathy with the protagonist as a result. It was also so drawn out that by the end I didn't even care whether she got married or not.The ending was also too predictable and not very believable. Like another reviewer, I had the feeling that one person wrote the first half and another person wrote the second half.Personally, during the second half I began to doubt whether I would ever really want to associate with the protagonist as her sermons on religion (and general attitude) became very distasteful to me.But anyway, in terms of the actual mechanics of the book, the second half dragged on for too long and the ending was both not very credible and very predictable.I won't be reading the sequel.
