I wanted to like it

The book jacket of Replenishing of the Sea of Galilee promises a family saga across ethnicity, place, and religion, and while all of those issues were touched upon, they were overshadowed by romance story lines that were of little interest to me. The twins Rasheed and Rasheeda, had interesting origin stories, and I found their early years quite enjoyable. I was disappointed that Rasheeda's character fell off the page once she became married. The most interesting thing about Rasheed was his pursuit of a career in journalism, but even his fascinating career couldn't overcome the bizarre romantic storylines.

I would rate Replenishing the Se of Galilee two out of five stars, and would only recommend to readers who I know have an interest in romantic storylines and a fairly high threshold for sexual content.

Thank you to Bookish First for an ARC of Replenishing the Sea of Galilee in exchange for an honest review.
