Welcome to Litsy!

My daughter picked this up as a summer read from the school library so I decided to sneak it in before she starts back up in a few weeks. Quick and enjoyable YA read about teens growing up in a doomsday cult.

Becca and Roy‘s story is so plausible. There are people prepping for end of world scenarios in hardcore ways that are negatively impacting their children. I ran alongside these two teens as they struggled to escape the paranoia and abuse planning and fighting and surviving any way they could. It was a page turner.

Becca is a senior in high school counting the days down until she can escape into a life different than what she knows. She belongs to a doomsday prepper community where her father is the leader. Something horrible happens that causes the community to tighten its grip on its members. This was great. Mangle had some nice turn of phrase and humor in between these agonizing questions of how much of your own life is for you to live vs how much 👇🏼

⭐⭐⭐⭐
4/5

This is a different storyline through the perspective of a young girl. One can only imagine how people like this live life. Not easy I say. It is good to learn survival but not where it cuts into normalcy. This book is original and interesting.
