I usually enjoy books about different cultures, regions, religious views, and family sagas but I wasn't able to finish reading this book. The beginning was way too fast paced and because of this, I couldn't feel a connection to the characters. I don't consider myself a prude but the sex scenes were not only graphic but much of them were voyeurism, which made my stomach churn. I tried to keep reading to see if it got any better but it focuses heavily on sex, as well as a brother and sister talking about sex and their sexual encounters, which I found cringey. Perhaps there is more to this novel if you can get past these scenes but I was simply unable to continue, which is a rarity for me. Normally, I push through and read the entire book but this one was so disturbing to me, I couldn't. I feel badly fulfilling writing this review but I am fulfilling my duty to write an honest review for BookishFirst and am immensely grateful for their continued opportunities to read and review ARCs.
