The way it’s narrated is confusing. I can only tell what’s happening part of the time. It feels… sloppy. Unfinished. It feels like a bad draft. The multi POV makes no sense when they talk about themselves in the third person part of the time. Hops back and forth making you wonder if there’s a narrator. There’s not. Wtf was happening
3.5; writing was good, but story could’ve been more developed
Really interesting storyline about a woman who gets sucked into a cult. The story line is actually quite complex, which is why I feel like there was a lot of missed potential with this novel. I feel like the characters could’ve been developed a bit more to round the message and the story line.

A flatly-written romanticization of rape and male dominance disguised as "a love story" and wrapped in a pro-choice message.

Not holding my attention, will try again on paper later
Kept waiting for this one to go somewhere further. Still, it was well done.
