Just realized that the book (Post #378) might work for the goal for book with a religious theme. It has Christian and Christian Fiction on main page.

It won't be enough that it's tagged as Christian Fiction - the goal is to read a book with a religious theme. Would that criteria fit this book?

Maybe not. The MC becomes "religious" or aware of God in her life through example of a close friend and through some difficult situations.
