It was rather boring and seemingly had no plot all of part one. The most interesting part was the prologue also there was a very graphic sex scene that was not pleasurable for anybody involved.

It was fine. I was just expecting more. The view of queer/mlm relationships was bizarre to say the least. I thought the protagonist would maybe learn something about her views - and she kinda did, in that she decided being gay wasn't an outright sin - but she really didn't. It seemed more like a vehicle for her to make excuses about her own piety (or lack thereof) and extramarital relationships. There was also a disgustingly awkward, graphic sex scene. It was a rather dry book with a very odd take on queerness. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Clearly a book for straight women.
