hallie_hey's review against another edition
4.0
The first half of the book felt stronger. There were also key moments that it felt like the author rushed over, including her initial few years after leaving the cult, and her family's relationship with the cult over time.
Overall, I think Mestyanek Young does a great job presenting the full and complex experience of leaving a cult.
