Read this in a day! Similar vibes to Educated and The Sound of Gravel, which to say there were parts that made me feel sick/had to skip. (TW: childhood sexual abuse starting Chapter 34.) I was expecting it to be a big lead up until the spaceship/world ending event but the author was only 6 so the story is the aftermath. Still a very fascinating perspective on cults, what defines family, and the power of choice.
