It took me a while to get into this book, but then I stayed up way too late to finish it? It's sort of like the pacing of the book itself... Vivian's stuck for a long time and then suddenly so many things happen. So many things!

But I love cult stories and this has some fresh, funny takes on that while also being pretty intense. I think it would def appeal to teens who haven't read as many cultural commentaries or whatever, like the Church of America Corporation and all that is going to be really hilarious for some teens I think. The patriarchy talk is a little Handmaids Tale-lite, but still relevant.

Extra points for lady friendship & some diversity!

Even though I didn't 100% love this one, I'll definitely pick up the next one.
