Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show by Bethany Joy Lenz

4.0
A harrowing and vulnerable look into Lenz’ experience being swept into a high-control, religious cult while also navigating an acting career. I have never been in a cult but I *have* been in an abusive relationship, and I have never read anything that more accurately conveys the isolation, fear, and sheer exhaustion that comes from living in [a] relationship[s] like that. Lenz is a solid writer who really takes you with her on this long and arduous journey, and manages to be witty and funny even in the face of this wildly traumatic experience.
If this is a topic that is tough for you, definitely heed the trigger warnings because there were a few times where I struggled a bit with some topics.
