The Unity Project stands for helping others and family values or is there something more sinister behind the smiles. Lo Denham knows the Project took her sister from her, and she will do everything in her power to get her back. The Project is a deep dive into what makes us vulnerable and who we place our faith in. As always Summers execution of a sister's love is concrete and pulls at the heartstrings. The narrative is split into two, with Lo in the present and Bea in the past, both adding to the context as in formation is given. This narrative of one sister chasing the other mimics the narratives in Sadie. Giving a sense of strangers passing in the darkness, give the plot a eerie feel when the Project set as the background. The reader's heart will break for both Lo and Bea, w3anting then to move toward each other. Through their narratives you meet other side characters that add to the dimension of how a cult is seen. The most interesting narratives are the ones from current members, yet their narratives are the most shrouded in darkness and not as elaborate. Causing the plot to falter a little bit, due to the fact that Los whole mission is to unearth all the Projects secrets. To be honest, I expected more from Summers. Wanting her to crack the cult image wide open and shock the reader more. The ending was anticlimactic, leaving a disappointed feeling for the reader.

So disappointing I was so excited to read this after loving Sadie but this just was a mess of confusing characters and plots. I found it hard to follow and hard to remain interested and i LOVE cult stories. :(

A stunning testament to faith, family and growth that comes as a result of trauma. This one will stick with me for a while.

I love Courtney Summers and love this book, but I can feel where this is going and as an older sister it makes me very sick. I can’t handle another Sadie

How do you rate a book like this? I read it in one sitting. It’s visceral and mind bending and crazy and real. It’s so well done and so haunting in a way Courtney Summers always is. How do you rate the books you know are going to stick with you? The ones that make you question, but don’t provide you with the answer.

A book about a cult??? A new Cortney Summers book?? HECK YEAH! The first 2/3 of the book had me hooked, I couldn’t put it down. Unfortunately the last chunk of the book didnt live up to my expectations. Still worth a look at

Courtney. She knows what she is doing.
The loss at a young age. The potential cult. The dual POV. It was yet another book of hers that constantly made me question things.
It was unexpected and dark and had this bond of sisters that I so desperately wanted more for. Courtney has an uncanny ability to write raw, flawed, stories that are real and keep you thinking long after you finish them.
