At about the 25% mark, when they introduced the roommate’s dad, I knew instantly how this was going to play out and I was correct. If you know anything at all about NXIVM and/or The Sarah Lawrence cult, you also will know exactly how this story will go. The author would shove in your face the things that were should have breadcrumbs for you to figure out along the way. As soon as she said that the two roommates looked exactly alike, I just had to wait 300 pages for the reveal I knew was coming. And the end? The end was just so terrible.
If I had a list of fictional characters who should have gone to therapy instead of the plot of their book, this girl would be at the top. So if you like poorly presented cults, a main character that wouldn’t know how to make a good decision if it bit her on the nose, and just overall terrible people except for one person who should have bailed the first chance he got, then this book is for you. Otherwise, I suggest you watch the documentaries “The Vow”, “Seduced”, and “Stolen Youth” to learn about the actual cults this atrocity was based on.
