I swore a lot as I read this book; it was seriously that good.

Spoiler

Not sure what it says about me that I kept an internal monologue urging Benji to murder all the Angels… but it’s the truth!

Love the themes and imagery (as someone who enjoys gore, body horror, and religious symbolism a totally normal amount), but the characters and world just don't feel well fleshed-out enough and the writing is a bit too repetitive and heavy-handed.

One of my favourite books this summer, this book portrays what it means to find chosen family, confronting dogmatic prejudice, escaping past abuse (especially biological family), and going through Hell and back.

The scenes of the protagonists barging up their organs is creative and grotesque, and the dogma of the cult could be triggering for anyone who has experienced abuse from a zealous community. Be warned that there is also maternal abuse, critique of religion being used for violence and genocide, an almost forced marriage, biological experimentation on unwilling victims, and bodily mutation.
