This Might Hurt by Stephanie Wrobel
4.0
Oh, I get why This Might Hurt is so polarizing now that I've finished. What a doozy.
I said the other day in a review for another book that I'm getting cult fatigue. This book feels so unique and different, totally working around that exhaustion I feel. I really admire how it approaches self-improvement, and the voice of Teacher is pretty damn convincing. There were also quite a few turns that I just did not see coming and, as a result, I apparently enjoyed this read much more than the average bear. And the ending? Oh man.
Probably my least favorite part is how this one is formatted. Every other chapter is from the POV of a character who isn't revealed until a ways into the book and, while I understand this creative decision, it really started to take away from my reading experience to have to try and keep these timelines straight without knowing who I was reading about.
Side note: love the cover and its connection to the story.
