Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book surprised me with how interesting and fast-paced it was. I was worried that it would quickly become a contemporary-based story around cults, but then we got into the chapters about Teacher, and I had a physical reaction. The details in this story are gritty and horrifying. Yet, it's the backstory that truly would create the ultimate recipe for a toxic wellness-based cult. I found our main character in the first half less interesting, but as the plot developed, things got more and more intriguing. Personality-wise, though, she still falls flat. She is not nearly as interesting as her sister- which turns out to be, more or less, the point. This was hard to put down, and incredibly enjoyable for me.
