Beautifully written and raw as well, but it was very slow burn and felt very rushed at the end. 
The buildup of the story was done well, but the wrap up felt very lackluster. I would have liked to see more of Evie as an adult, but nontheless it was a pretty good book. 


Crying Score: nope

This book was a train wreck I could not look away from. Beautiful writing, intriguing plot, insightful characters, and a gruesome dedication to detail that made it impossible for me to put this book down.

um… definitely a book. i found it dragging in some parts. reallt wish there could’ve been more description of the cult itself in terms of belief and how it came about. it’s not entirely sufficient enough to say something is a cult or posit a group as one without actually meeting the criteria of what a cult is. this book could’ve been better than what it was.
