The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw

3.0

Some stories were really good, but ended right when I was getting attached to the character and felt incomplete. Other stories I completely check out of and had to keep going back. Chapter 8 was hands down the best. I wanted more like that. Maybe this book just isn’t for me as I am not a church going lady and don’t understand the demand places in parishioners or women in the church. Overall, sex sex out of wedlock just isn’t that big of a secret and I’m sad that these women have so much of their identity based on how an institution says they can have sex and who they can have sex with.
