The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
by Deesha Philyaw
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Read it the second time with a buddy group and liked it even more. Only thing that bumped it down is that almost every story involves an affair. I really appreciated the writing, how each story stayed on its own, reflection into others lives , and the hypocrisy of religion.
Stories :
Eula: 5 star. Loved this one .
Not Daniel: 4.5. Even in the shortness in this one you can feel the grief
Dear Soster: 4 stars
Peach Cobbler: 4.5 stars . Man I hate the mom in this one!
Snowfall: 5 stars . This is the one I relate to the most . You could feel the love between the characters
How to make love to a physicist: 5 stars.
Jael: 3.5 stars. The POV switches on this one is really hard to follow but man the ending in this one!
Instructions for married husbands: 5 stars. Loved the structure of this one
When Eddie… 4.5 stars. This one also feels very relatable. Made me really think about some stuff.
