I liked this one well enough, but it didn’t have anything on Madwoman.

I liked a lot about this book, but it's a bit overwritten and over the top. All of it seems perhaps believable, but put all together, not really (I'm looking at you, grandma taxidermy playthings). Lacey May's voice has a great sorta stunned but accepting view of the world and I was definitely rooting for her to have a content future.
This book had a lot of potential to be excellent but something was missing and I can’t put my finger on it
Godshot was a thrill to read! I finished this one in a weekend. It has elements that reminded me of, "Educated" and also, "Handmaid's Tale". I enjoyed the whole ride, and found the ending especially satisfying. Heads up- MANY trigger warnings: Child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, rape, alcoholism, spiritual abuse.

An emotional, disturbing, & tense read, Godshot is 14yo Lacey May’s story as she lives through a drought in Peaches, CA. When her mother gets banned from their special church & leaves her behind, Lacey’s life begins to unravel and the rose colored glasses come off.
From cult life to assault to mother/daughter relations to sex work, I can only call this book a depressing, yet fascinating read.
