4.0

Horror about a young woman living with her conservative Christian family in a town centered around a 100% effective gay conversion therapy camp. I enjoyed the sharp criticism of anti-LGBT+ church doctrine, and the portrayal of the main character’s autism and how that played into the way some of the twists were revealed. I also liked the book’s compassion and hopefulness which I guess one should expect from an author who is trying to prove love is real.
