I enjoy this the coming of age young girl was portrayed really well and the way she felt misunderstood and had that longing to be loved by that particular person. It showed that young adolescent naivity and infatuation. Definately look up trigger warnings for this one but it was a decent depiction of the Mansonesque ranch and being apart of a cult group. If you like reading about cults then seeing a fiction based around one might be fun for you. Emma Cline is a good writer definately would like to see what else she puts out there.
