If you don't hate men after this book, you've missed the plot...

This book is deeply insightful and powerfully written. It gets a bit dark at certain points in the story, but I think it does a great job of depicting what cult life is like, as well as diving into the psyche of a girl-turned-woman. 

The writing was fantastic and very deep without coming across as esoteric and thick. The only reason I'm not giving it a higher score is because I feel like this book isn't necessarily meant for me. BUT! I highly recommend this book to any female/female-identifying readers; I think so many can benefit from this story and find some relatability with the characters.
