5.0

I am a big fan of One Tree Hill, and I was excited to read this memoir by Bethany Joy Lenz, who played Haley on the iconic teen show. This didn't disappoint! It was a fascinating read. I honestly did not know she had once been part of a cult, but I thought the way she wrote about it was both intriguing and heartbreaking, It just goes to show that we are more susceptible to cults that we might believe. The book details a heavy topic but she makes it easier to digest and laces it with dark humor, which I personally enjoyed. It's emotional and traumatic but also really eye opening and funny, with the right dose of reality and religion. I think it's a different kind of celebrity memoir but one many people will enjoy. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster, and Bethany Joy Lenz for the eARC of this book.
