Love and Other Sins by Emilia AresMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Love and Other Sins by Emilia Ares is definitely an intense book. Mina and Oliver's lives come together as they both are looking to build something different. This is an interesting portrayal of teenage life if a little bleak. Topics like child abuse, sexual assault, abortion, and more are touched upon, making this an intense read. Sometimes it feels like the inclusion of all of these topics makes the book over the top, and too heavy to read. Overall though the progression of a teenage relationship is documented well and explored fully in this story. While the writing is thorough, at times it feels a bit stiff, but that may have been intended. A tough read and one that delves into some heavy issues.
