dark reflective medium-paced

5.0

Terrific memoir it really does read like a novel. It is dark,

you really have to admire Guinevere’s perseverance and writing ability, both as a young person and today. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t truly look up until the end. I can only hope Turner decides to write a sequel.

for fans of I’m glad my mom died.

dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.0

The writing was vivid and graphic and tore at me a bit. I thought it would be a bit more about the cult. It was more so to do with the author's fears, traumas, and bravery of the things she faced afterward. She is a survivor and I wish there was more safety to get help.  Hoping this story can create change for others to get the help they need.
