It's Not a Cult by Lauren Danhof

4.5

How can you not love a book about a girl named Glinda with a twin named Dorothy?! Glinda is such a fun heroine -- she's kind of selfish, kind of self-obsessed, not really trying very hard, but also she has the vague desire to make things right. I mean, she does so in the worst possible ways, but she kind of tries! Danhof offers a fresh and funny voice so irreverent that I laughed out loud at several points. So many details in this bonkers novel prompt the reader to throw theirĀ  hands up and say "Sure! Why not?!" which is ultimately a very fun reaction to have. Hidden in this wacky romp is a very tender novel about grief, too -- ooh boy, Danhof is certainly one to watch!
