hell yeah I'll read any YA novel about a cult

this one was fine, it simultaneously felt a little too long but also like everything resolved too quickly? I loved the flashbacks about life within the cult (based on the Branch Davidians), and I was interested to read about Moonbeam's recovery process but it did seem to gloss over uhh a lot.

It's no Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly but still a fine choice for the cult enthusiast reader.
