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.

Definitely needs a trigger warning but was a sick/ sad look into how someone people really think and feel.

It’s like a true crime handmaids tale. If the book wasn’t so fast-paced I probably would’ve had to stop reading because it was really dark at times. I had to look up one thousand and one nights, but it was cool that was interspersed with the recordings. I actually didn’t see the twist coming.
