*The cult storyline and how cults take advantage of people in their weak moments and prey on people's insecurities and fears and desires and how easy it is to believe in their missions.
*Lo's up and down journey with the cult
*The sister dynamics
*Lo was a believable character she felt authentic and real
*There were times it was hard to decide how I felt about this cult myself which was interesting to think about.
Disliked
*The audiobook narration I wish it would have been a full cast or at least duel narrated
*I wanted more from Bee's pov to understand how she felt
*The inclusion of real world politics was an annoyance. It felt like the author inserting her own political viewpoints to try and add credibility to her storyline. Shoulda left Trump and Cuomo out of your story.
