very much a female rage book, the darker side of girlhood with the added layer of a murderous cult in the 1960s. the “modern” flashes throughout the book didn’t seem to serve a strong purpose for me but the 1960s parts were good

The writing is good but I wasn’t really invested in the story and I didn’t like the characters, which is the point but it didn’t work for me

This book was a train wreck I could not look away from. Beautiful writing, intriguing plot, insightful characters, and a gruesome dedication to detail that made it impossible for me to put this book down.
