I have to admit that I nearly DNF'd this book because I just did not connect with it despite my excitement while reading it. I felt pretty burned by the hype surrounding this book! If you enjoyed My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh then you might like this one. It just wasn't for me and I love reading about cults!
