Soulmates by Jessica Grose

2.0

This book has one premise and then seems to go in a widely different direction, never really solving the somewhat mystery it first proposes. I guess it is supposed to be somewhat of a satire and commentary on cult-like leaders, but it mostly just falls flat. Pieces of the writing are downright distracting, like the one-sided retelling chapters that are interspersed with unheard questions from another character. Just have the character retell their story without trying to make it seem like a conversation. The ending was downright ridiculous and totally unsatisfying. Finally, I just need to address the cover design - the cover shows a women in front of some body of water with huts surrounding it - this story takes place in the desert. I just can't with that.
