Mina’s life is going according to plan; she’s acing AP Calc and is perfectly content with her nonexistent social life. Though only a high school junior, Mina knows time is an investment, and she’s putting all her capital into academics. Oliver, a child abuse survivor who grew up in the foster care system, is ready to burn down his old life and start from scratch - complete with a new name and emancipation papers - in LA. When the two are thrown together through circumstance and develop an unexpected connection, they discover how hard it is to keep the past in the past.

wasn't expecting that

I liked the story and the duel pov narration was great...but it ended in a complete cliff hanger!! and there is no information on if a second book has even been written yet. If I had known I would have left it on my wish list for a while

I’m so ready for book two!! LAOS is a must read.

Absolutely loved everything about this book and am sooo eager to find out what happens in book two. Love and Other Sins took me on a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved every minute of it! The complexity of the characters and seeing how their lives collide together undeniably creates the butterflies in your stomach moment. I love how real Oliver and Mina are and it was so cool to be able to hear it from both of their perspectives. This book does not shy away from honesty and the complicated feelings of high school, rebellion and being swept away by love. I especially enjoyed the close bond that Mina shares with her Mom. I found that to be very unique and I personally relate to that kind of closeness with my own family. Love and Other Sins is really unlike any other YA novel I’ve read and I found it to be so unpredictable in the best way. Definitely will be recommending this one.
