I have a love/hate thing going with Tom Perrotta. I loved Election and Little Children (although, strangely, I thought in both cases the movie was better than the book), was ambivalent toward The Wishbones, and really did not like Joe College. The Abstinence Teacher is hands down my favorite of Perrotta's books. The characters are believable and evoke sympathy, and the theme relevant (one of Perrotta's greatest strengths), highlighting the tension between secular and religious America. I highly recommend it.
