Lo went through a horrific car accident that took away the life of her parents and nearly killed her. Desperate to help, her sister, Bea, turns to a local healer (also a leader of a very religious organization). Lo miraculously recovers, and this seals Bea’s fate. She joins the Unity Project to follow Lev and his divine teachings.
This was almost a decade ago… now Lo is grown up and she has not had any contact with her sister. You see, the Unity Project members are known to cut people off. But after the mysterious death of another Project member, Lo decides she needs answers. She wants to write an expose on the Project, and all the harm they’re doing. Is the Project a cult? Is Lev really a divine healer sent from God?
I enjoyed the premise of the book, but unfortunately I found Lo so unbearable, I couldn’t connect with her. She goes from wanting to write an expose to joining the cult. And despite all evidence that is being presented to her from the beginning about how toxic this gathering is, she start willfully ignoring it all and abandoning all common sense.
I found the “twist” very predictable, the characters mostly unlikeable, and the storyline of Lo joining too underdeveloped. It just made no sense.
