I loved this. Brit Bennett’s writing style just sucks you into the story it’s as if you’re living inside that world. I like that this was told from the perspective of the church ‘mothers’ because they never really figured Nadia out- she’s the FMC yet even by the end of the book we haven’t really gotten to the core of who she is. It felt like we got to know Aubrey and Luke better. But i think that was the point, she was always at arms length because of her own trauma. I’m not crazy about how the story ended but i enjoyed the story as a whole so much i can let it slide. 5 stars
