Synopsis: A social worker travels to a remote wellness retreat in New Mexico to search for a psychiatric patient who may be in trouble.

This is my second book by this author and this had a similar feel to The Writing Retreat. It’s a bit weird, trippy and at times is a bit unbelievable. I enjoyed the first couple parts of the story, but Part 3 came along and the book got a bit unhinged. 

We have Sol and Moon who run this wellness retreat, aka cult leaders. At first I didn’t mind the retreat, I thought the sessions were interesting, but then the book just takes a turn and gets a little weird. There's some reincarnation, a mysterious cave and maybe some supernatural elements? I don't know, things got wild. My favorite character was Catherine and I was kind of rooting for her throughout the book.

Overall, not quite the book for me, but might be for someone who is interested in a trippy cult book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for an ARC of The Last Session in exchange for my honest review.
