pickThis was light & funny, with the author adding her opinions into the mix and warning me not to make a strange concoction of tree roots and toadstools to prevent pregnancy, but I can't say these sex lives are a secret. There was insight into contraception, gender roles, adultery, sex acts, and the role religion played in said sex lives, but by the sound of it, there were a lot of court records cited, thus making me think it was all rather common ⬇️
pickThis was an interesting little novel based on true events that occurred in Mexico in the 1950's & '60's. Sisters Arcangela and Serafina are successful brothel owners until the law starts to threaten their livelihood.

So when I saw this one for 99c I went for it. If you're looking for in-depth character development, surprising plot twists, or a new take on the holiday season, this is NOT the ⬇

Fun fact: the corset as we know it today was NOT around during medieval times, but ⬇️ now
