4.0

For what it is, this book is amazing. To be honest, it had my attention from the very start considering the main characters were a Rabbi and a Sex Worker. It was such an odd combination that I NEEDED to see where it went. 

The only reason I gave this book a 4 instead of a 5, was because the main drama/peak of the story happened within the last 3 chapters (that might be an exaggeration) which left it to be resolved and for the story to settle back down rather quickly. 

Other than that, if you’re into romantic comedy - this book is for you.

I liked that the main characters came from opposing worlds, very wholesome. I really relate to Naomi's attitude to intimacy, felt very seen. Otherwise, the pacing was a bit off and just read a little odd

This was an unexpected hit for me, I enjoyed the first book in the series, but not nearly as much as this one. Naomi and Ethan are truly multidimensional characters that are a pleasure to get to know. Everyone judges Naomi for her past and her choice of career. Everyone bases their opinions of Ethan on his job. It was really interesting to see the pair work through those presumptions, showing who they truly were and growing closer together.

I LOVED this and I’m not 100% sure why. I think a lot of that comes from the fact the relationship was a black cat tall bisexual bitchy mean ex sex worker wife and a golden retriever short king physics/book nerd wife guy and they were obsessed with each other. I loved  Naomi’s fragile relationship with her Judaism and Ethan’s complete, unwavering faith. I loved how it had really sexy scenes and really tender scenes and scenes that made my throat hurt because I was trying not to cry! 
Took me a little longer than audiobooks normally do because sometimes the discussions of religion felt a little too personal lol 😛😘

I’m not saying I’m going to use the dating advice in this book, but I’m not not saying I’m going to use the dating advice in this book. Overall really enjoyed but Ethan’s jumping to assumptions bothered me, especially since it didn’t even turn out to be an issue in the end.

Loved this book more than the first one. This book has a lot of heart. A bit slow at the beginning though.
