A review by aspiringcowboy
Your Life Is Mine by Nathan Ripley

3.0

an interesting premise, but the execution is weak. i felt my focus constantly drifting and feeling a little lost, because the transitions aren't really smooth; i think the entire novel would have benefited from being written in third person rather than shifting between first and third. the characterizations needed a little work (everyone felt a little flat), and the lore of the cult should have been expanded on a little more - i don't expect cults to make sense ever, but i still don't understand anything about the structure of it. the friendship between blanche and jaya was nice, though. their scenes were my favorites
