I received an ARC from a friend and this is my honest review!
Wow, Courtney Summers does it again. When I knew that this book involved a cult and the bond between sisters (as well as this generally being by Summers), I knew I had to check it out. It took a bit for me to sink into the story. I was really invested in it by the second part. I loved how the story jumped back and forth throughout time, going from Lo's perspective of the modern time and her search for answers, then to Bea's time and giving us background leading up to the present day. Just a glorious story that was so dynamic and complex. I wasn't sure how the story would tie up, but I'm very pleased with it. It's not a happy story, but it had a satisfying ending.
