Cult Classic
by Sloane Crosley
This was such a weird book, and weird isn't usually my vibe, but I did really enjoy it. Just a decent ways outside of my comfort zone. Like it's about a mind control cult (an oversimplification, but close enough) and a young woman running into a bunch of exes as she works through her current relationship with her fiance. It's a weird vibe, but I liked it a lot.
My favorite part was her relationship and just how much of the book centered around what it means to be in love and what makes a relationship worthwhile. Despite all the extraneous weirdness, that was the main focus of the book and I really enjoyed that. I think it was really well done. I like the exploration of relationships in literature and this really delivered.
The mind control cult was weird. I didn't really get it, and to be honest I don't think you were really supposed to get it? Or if there was anything to get. It didn't make sense. It was just the kind of thing you have to accept at face value and go along with, which is not a skill I excel at.
But despite that, a good read. A weird read, but a good one. I don't know that I'll ever want to try more from Crosley, but I'm very glad I stepped outside my comfort zone with this one.
