This one surprised and enthralled me from beginning to end. At first, I thought it was based on the Sarah Lawrence cult, but it turned into something really fascinating and validating to read. HOWEVER, there are many triggers in this book. Make sure you’re in a good, safe, headspace before reading.

DNF at 60%. Please, for the love of GOD, look up the trigger warnings on this and listen to them.

I am not normally triggered by content like this. The thing is, I’m not triggered by it but I feel physically weighed down, a solid 10 pounds heavier after reading this book. It is so dark and disgusting to me personally that I couldn’t get past the content and just appreciate the good story underneath. I have to put this down a read something happier before I never want to leave my bed again. 😖😖😖

4.0

this book was extremely well done. definitely more than just ‘loosely’ based on the cult of Sarah Lawrence. it was that plus handmaids tale all rolled into one. terrifying and captivating. couldn’t put it down.

i think if you’re familiar with cults and secret societies, you’ll love it. if you’re not - i think a lot will go over your head and make it hard to understand.
