When the World Didn't End by Guinevere Turner

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

I read a significant number of cult memoirs and this one is among the best I have read. She reflects on her time in the cult but also is fair to her 11 year old self that left the cult--and continued to pine for it for years afterward. She keeps moving the narrative forward as her life moved on, but remains true to the self that experienced the trauma and the self she is now. A beautiful, heartbreaking book.
