I have a confession to make. Last year, in the early weeks of quarantine, my boyfriend and I binge-watched the Netflix series Waco. It focused on the Branch Davidians and their ultimate standoff with the FBI and ATF. Ever since then, I have been fascinated with cults. So, when I heard that Summers, the author of Sadie, was coming out with a new book that was based on a cult, I knew I had to get my hands on it. The Project focuses on a fictional cult leader who becomes a prominent person in the life of two sisters after a tragic accident. While The Project has a promising storyline, I didn't love this story the way I wanted to. The plot was slow at the start and I kind of figured out the ending, which is always annoying.
