I really liked the beginning of this book. Meeting Ethan and reading the interactions between him and Naomi were wonderful, and I loved the chemistry they had. I also loved, again, the message of sex positivity. And there was even this incorporation of faith and learning more about Judaism. All of this I really enjoyed about the book. Unfortunately, towards the end the conflicts that were cropping up and the choices that Naomi and Ethan made were really confusing me with how they actually felt about each other. The vibe between them felt different. Also there were a couple speeches made by both characters (mixed in with their own internal monologues) that kinda lost my interest at the end as well. I'll still read more books from Rosie Danan in the future because I like the messages she puts into her books and the prose she uses - I wish this book in particular had had a stronger finish.

Not as good as the first one but still very interesting! I loved how strong Naomi was and how she talked about sex and her lectures were very positive! I also enjoyed how she overcame society's view on her and her profession past. What Naomi and Ethan dealt with together was cute and I liked their romance! Wish it was steamer like the first book though.

I didn't know anything about reform Jewish faith and practices before this, so that was educational. I like that Naomi gets a chance to be vulnerable and cared for and happy.

This book shows why Judaism is awesome. Would a preacher ever publicly date an ex-porn star??? I don’t think so.
