I don’t really want to say I loved this memoir because oof it was a heartbreaking one. But it was a well written story of tragedy, loss, triumph and love. Audiobook was fantastic, including music by The Airborne Toxic Event.

Amazing. Mikel Jollett's journey from Synanon to the Airborne Toxic Event is incredible and often heart breaking but he tells his story beautifully, and what feels like, very honestly.  

Definitely one to read if you are a fan of his music but also if you have any interest in cults and the damage they can have on the people who don't voluntarily join.
