2.5 out of 5 stars.

I honestly don't know what to make of this novella. I truly don't.
There isn't anyone in the story that I was rooting for, sexism is an abundance throughout (intentionally and seemingly unintentionally) and it doesn't even end in a way that makes me want to know more.

It just feels off. The whole story. Like, it felt like fhe kidnapping could have happened earlier in the story, more time coild havw been spent establishing this weird Hallmark cult camp, plus the whole W1 W2 thing was just a big old yikes for me.
