Sinner was enjoyable. I liked both Sean and Zenny and reading about their (mostly Sean’s) journey. I love how Zenny challenges him to reevaluate his thinking.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the 15-year age gap being that Zenny's only 21. I'm reminded of it a lot and it took me out of the story. I much prefer age gaps when one of the MCs is at least in the late 20s. Also would've loved 2 POVs.
The sex scenes were very well-written and HOT. I found parts of Sean’s inner monologues were a bit repetitive.
I liked the conversations about faith and belief and sex and what it all means to each person individually. I get why Sean feels the way he does about God. It can be hard to have faith when it feels like everything is falling apart and you can’t do anything about it.
