I really, really like this book. The cover and the catch that it was a book about a fictional cult originally got me, but it's so much more. This books deals with all (if not most) of the social issues faced in the Black community. I honestly don't want to speak too much about it as it's just a book you should read.
The reason why it didn't get 5/5 stars is because it falls a bit flat in the third act. AfterOllie's death the book really slows down and tries to wrap itself up within the last 40 pages. It feels a bit rushed considering how the rest of the book is paced.
