St Original/E (Original Sinners: The White Years, #1) (Original Sinners)

by Tiffany Reisz

Rebellious, green-eyed Eleanor never met a rule she didn't want to break. She's sick of her mother's zealotry and the confines of Catholic school, and declares she'll never go to church again. But her first glimpse of beautiful, magnetic Father Marcus Stearns--Søren to her and only her--and his lust-worthy Italian motorcycle is an epiphany. Eleanor is consumed--yet even she knows being in love with a priest can't be right. But when one desperate mistake nearly costs Eleanor everything, it is Søren who steps in to save her. When she vows to repay him with complete obedience, a whole world opens before her as he reveals to her his deepest secrets that will change everything.

Scheherazade again, but this time without the life and death drama, which means I enjoyed it even more. (Lower stakes are my jam. There are exceptions, but that’s the rule.)

It’s also a big boon to my argument that spoilers don’t matter, since anyone who’s read the first four books knows the outcome to these stories, but they’re even better retold. There are details and perspectives that add layers of meaning, while still feeling fresh. Also, finally— FINALLY— a writer who gets that someone like Wyatt is full of RED FLAGS. I wanted to cry for joy. I feel so seen.

Probably my favorite scene in the book, the introduction of Kingsley, contains quips re: Justine, so once again, accidentally, everything connects.

Onto The King, and the title itself spoils what’s coming, so I’m laying odds now it’s gonna get the five stars.

Edited to add:
I don’t think high school me has ever felt so seen either. Crying over pre-calc + writing Queen Esther fanfic. Those were the days.

Again, I've been completely lost in the world of Nora, Søren, Kingsley and the others.
