Your Life Is Mine by Nathan Ripley
2.0
Your Life is Mine is a novel about a cult by the same name, that definitely sounds cooler as a book title than as a violent belief system. Blanche, a daughter of the head of the cult has moved on the best she can and makes true crime documentaries.
The first few chapters were interesting, but as I read further I couldn’t take the characters and the cult seriously. Blanche’s father seemed more petty than as a charismatic leader. Many of the characters revealed their true motives too soon and to only their detriment. This had a good start and could have gone somewhere and I felt like it didn’t have much of a story. It starts with the shooter acting irrationally and then follows his successor who doesn’t appear to achieve anything.
I want to thank Atria Books, Netgalley and the author for my honest opinion. 2/5 stars.
