My Review:
Rating: 3.5/5 stars.
I am reviewing Sweetest Sins by Aurora Lemaire after receiving a free copy from Hidden Gems Books. I was intrigued by this Novella and wasn't sure whether I would like it. As I am not religious I found it hard to read the views that the nuns had. I also found it hard to believe anyone can truly live like that and not 'sin'. I also found it a hard pill to swallow when being gay was treated like it was unnatural. Despite these feelings I understand that this book was supporting lgbt+ rights. The ending was good and proved to me that this book was open with its views and just trying to Show how sometimes religion is not law. Sometimes the writing was confusing as to whether Jane or Lily was speaking. Overall I found this book good and recommend it for people to read. Amy x
