154 times. that's how many times he's said "god's truth" across 145 pages. 
this was so boring and repetitive and tedious to read despite such an interesting premise and title. the execution was so bad it's unbelievable. 
Also the writing sucks I'm sorry there's nothing poetic about the lines "the brazen rumour ended up with her legs spread,her ass in the air" 
and this is just one example of such stupid sexual imagery that add nothing to the plot or scene and makes this book even harder to read.
genuinely upset I thought I was going to love this.
