This book was not the best. I went into it hoping I could imagine “Hot Priest” from Fleabag but I couldn’t. Father Bell, from this book couldn’t be more far away from Hot Priest from Fleabag who was superior in every way. This Father Bell character was just Disappointing….

I personally wasn't into it. As a person who is not religious I found Father Bell to be absolutely ridiculous. As well as Poppy, so that’s why I found a lot of humor in this book where I don’t think there was meant to be any…. Oops. I found both characters to be really annoying and stupid and I disagreed with most of their decision making. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in some intense kinks like:
anal, BDSM, slut-shaming and being spoken to in a very degrading way, and revenge porn. Also I found the sex between the two characters was always very violent and so if you’re into that then this is for you.
 

I do not recommended this just to someone who found this on TikTok and just wants to read a 4-5 spicy pepper book. It’s not a realistic or healthy relationship and also it’s a bit too intense if you’re just starting out, but that’s just one gals opinion.
