Atlanta, Georgia, 1950–Michael can’t believe his eyes as he watches the man he loves marry a woman from the back row of Mount Zion Baptist Church. When the beautiful couple is pronounced man and wife, he leaves his home in Georgia for the chance of a better life in New York City.

Alexander is just trying to exist in Queens, New York. Although his family is aware of his unnatural attraction to men, they adore him. The price of hiding his true identity from the rest of the world leads to a deep and painful loneliness for Alex, even in the bosom of a loving family.

When Michael’s life collides with Alexander’s world, both men are afraid to trust. Sweet Honesty is an African American M/M romance that provides a glimpse of black love from a different lens and time.

This book was quite different from what I normally read, as it's set around African American characters in the 1950s, but I ended up really enjoying it.
The story flows well and kept me interested the whole way. There isn't a lot of spice, and there's not a huge amount of angst or drama, but that didn't take away from the story at all. The characters were engaging, and I found myself wanting to keep listening to see where their journey would lead.
The narration was excellent and suited the story perfectly. A great narrator can make or break an audiobook, and in this case, Sean absolutely enhanced the experience.
Overall, this was an enjoyable listen with a different setting and perspective than I'm used to, and I'm glad I picked it up.
