Good message in the midst of a good story

I read this book to my younger brother (who is 13) and my younger sister (who is 11). And, apart from having an interesting plot, I was really interested in reading how the author would manage the romantic feelings that Kate has for Eric and for M.R. Because, one is a Christian who believes as she does, and the other doesn't. I think that's such an important topic that seemed to grow as through the series as it went along. I was kind of excited reading it to my siblings because I want them to remember, someday, when they like someone, that it's more than what's on the outside that matters: it's what's inside that does.
