Shmutz by Felicia Berliner
2.0

Thank you @NetGalley and Astria Publishing for the ARC of Shmutz.

This is probably the most unique book I have read. From a objective standpoint, I loved it! The self-discovery, defining boundaries, the portrayal of religion and living religion was fascinating. The MC was beautiful in her vulnerability and honesty. Objectively, I rate this book a 4/5.

On a subjective level, I rate this a 2/5. The story just wasn't one of my favorites. That has nothing to do with how the author wrote this book. I simply prefer reading rom-coms.

I applaud the author's creativity and storytelling!
