No lo he odiado pero me lo habían hypeado mucho y me ha dejado bastante indiferente. El tema sectas me interesa más bien poco y tampoco creo que la parte psicológica que sería la más interesante se desarrolle demasiado. Parece un poco un collage de escenas morbosas con un toque de coming of age que en realidad para mi gusto es la única parte que vale la pena de la novela. Mucha gente dice que no le gusta la voz de Evie pero a mi me ha parecido bien, solo me hubiese gustado que me contase una historia diferente. Las partes de adulta me sobraban muchísimo.

If you know a little bit about the Manson family the book will feel a bit predictable and maybe a bit simplified. Definitely check the warnings, a few instances of sexual assault of a minor

3.75 but I’ll round up for the sake of the writing. 

This was a trip but the writing style was easy to read and filled with quotable lines and insights that made me think of my girlhood. 

Not quite sure what to take away from this book but it was a good filler to read in between fantasy books and got me pretty spooked at times.
