As a deep and profound book about religion in the face of grief- 4.0
As a sexy book- 2.0

I don't usually write in an actual review but I felt it necessary to add that I did not think the age-gap was handled well, and also the sex scenes were often awkward. I was bawling by the end though so the emotion I felt brought the rating up significantly.

Never read/listened to erotica before and perhaps it was a silly assumption to think that there’d not be a plot I was interested in or a plot at all but I was pleasantly surprised to find explorations of religious trauma, faith, anticipatory grief, and shame in this work?
