DID NOT FINISH: 40%

Not in the mood for horror at the moment 

What an amazing book, full of diverse characters representing LBGT+ and neurodiverse humans so well. It was a delightful mix of YA horror with extreme religious themes and body horror that was horrifying.

This novel was something I really needed to read. As a Lesbian woman and a escapee of religion it was the type of representation that I was really happy to see. I loved the character developments and I found the “big bads” in this book to be genuinely terrifying. I really connected to each little gay heretic in this one and I’d love to read more like it.

I absolutely recommend this one!
