jennifer_mangieri 's review for:
The Incendiaries
by R.O. Kwon
I am going to have to come back to this review. CW: rape.
Will and Phoebe meet in college. They both have complicated relationships with their spirituality and religious backgrounds. Phoebe has issues related to the recent death of her mother in a car accident. Will is leaving his faith behind; Phoebe is searching for faith. Will is, maybe, trying to replace his faith with obsessive love and controlling tendencies. Phoebe is fascinated by a charismatic cult leader. This all sounds quite dramatic, but this novel is cool and detached.
And maybe Will is an unreliable narrator? I haven't figured that out yet.
Everything in this book is told through Will's eyes. That makes it interesting when thinking about how other characters are portrayed.
If nothing else, this book is fascinating because of the way it's written and unusual subject matter. I'm going to be thinking about it for a while.
