When the World Didn't End: A Memoir

An interesting but mildly triggering read. I went into it thinking it would be more “culty” but it was interesting and, frankly, upsetting nonetheless. Unless you know your personal limits for reading about child sex abuse, intimate partner violence, violence against children, and general emotional/psychological abuse very well and know you will be okay reading something fairly detailed and very realistic I would say you might want to err on the side of caution and steer clear.

This is a silly note, but the kids in this group have the wildest names. I loved that.

I also loved how she talked to her childhood diary. Adorable and relateable.
