This wasn't as good as Sadie but still a worthwhile read. It was a little heartbreaking, a little scary, and even a little hopeful. It does leave me with some questions, but not the kinds that frustrate me.
Read content/trigger warnings beforehand! There is difficult content that could make this unenjoyable if you don't know ahead of time (there are multiple car accidents and as someone who has survived a pretty big one myself, it did kind of trigger me a little. Not enough to deter me from finishing the book tho).

The main issue I have with this book is that I almost got whiplash from jumping from chapter to chapter. SO MUCH happens in such a short time you get no time to process it - especially in the last quarter when all of a sudden (at least that's what it felt like) Lo

is completely infatuated with Lev, wants to join and defend the Unity Project and doesn't question the fact that her sister isn't even in the Unity Project anymore. I understand that people can get sucked into cults really quickly, but with her it was a 180-degree change in what felt like days

.

I don't know, in comparision to Sadie this was such a letdown.

This wasn’t what I was expecting. It was enjoyable but not as dark or thrilling as I thought it was going to be. I didn’t really like how it was told because I felt like you couldn’t connect to the characters and their storylines as much. Also until the end we didn’t get to really see how bad the cult was. Also a certain part in this just doesn’t make sense it’s a spoiler so don’t read this but I don’t understand why she would just join it after fighting them for so long. Overall it was enjoyable but nothing amazing like Sadie was.

PLEASE read content warnings before going into this one: it's rough. For whatever reason though, it really worked for me. I don't mind slow pace if I'm getting tiny new bits of information and intrigue as I go so what others don't like about this book really worked for me. I thought the author did a stellar job creating a realistic cult and no one writes better complex sister relationships than Courtney Summers. She really did that again.
