Although predictable, this was a very satisfying end to the series; unless there's more to come. I'm not quite ready to be done with Crimson, Julian, Tella and Legend.

If you are the type of Black church girl who follows Candice Benbow and Unfit Christian, I think you will enjoy this book.
Now, there are a lot of aspects in the book that seem to support the traditional Black church, but there’s a somewhat progressiveness about sex.
Sex is discussed, but not fully described in replete detail. I don’t think I’m using ‘replete’ correctly, but oh well.
I really enjoyed this book.
For the record, you don’t have to be Black, a girl, or attend a Black (or any other type) church to enjoy this book.
This is mos def a five star read!

The Fight to Flourish: Engaging in the Struggle to Cultivate the Life You Were Born to Live by Jennie Lusko, A.J. Gregory
Did not finish book.
Did not finish book.
I didn’t have the spoons nor the mental bandwidth to read about the subject. & it was too repetitive in saying why the author was writing the book.

I started reading this book on 11 June 2022; I don’t know when I stopped reading, but decided to give up forcing myself to finishing on today (21 June 2022). I’m not really sure why I didn’t enjoy it. I read it after reading A Series of Unfortunate Events.
