this book did not make the slightest dent in my memory. what’s it about? who knows.
An eloquent tale that interested me with its comparisons of cult vs. Christianity and, really, good vs. evil. The author has hewn glass into a diamond, and I very much enjoyed the different angles I was forced to think through.

The writing style was mostly really compelling; my one nitpick is there's lines sprinkled throughout that are pretty pretentious and hard to read- just oddly structured, with adjectives that stand out as trying too hard to sound poetic. This aside, it's really good prose, I think. Impressive stuff
The perspectives and point in the timeline slide around a little more than I'd prefer, and I think cutting John Leal's pages entirely would be great. But it's such a good picture of problems compounding and things falling apart in 2 very young people's lives.
