Godshot by Chelsea Bieker

2.0

I think I've come to a place of acceptance that cult books aren't for me, but Godshot did evoke many things in me. Horror, hopelessness, emptiness. I kept waiting for things to get better, and I suppose the point of the story were that there was good in the small moments, the few kind people, the catharsis of Lacey May becoming self-aware. But the situation was so dire and bleak that I had to struggle to get through it.

Credit where credit is due, the world-building of Peaches and it's cult was so well done that I could taste the warm soda. The description of a land ravaged by droughts and the unpleasant little details about each character fleshed out the story even though the story was unbearably grim.
