Enjoyed how the chapters alternate between time periods in the narrator's life. The characters and scenery are vivid. Rare that I read a mystery, but glad I got this one.

If you like reading books about cults, this book may be for you. A group of kids who thought their past was buried are blackmailed as adults to return to the location of the cult. The plot unfolds between the two timelines.
Stories belong to the victors. In the end, that‘s what everyone‘s fighting for—the chance to tell the story of what happened, no matter what actually did 🌲🍄🪵
Almost 9 hours down! Great book! The writing is excellent and the pace kept up even though such a large portion of it is flashbacks, but I'm not sure what I think of the resolution. I loved all of the descriptions of nature. I'll be thinking about this one for a while. My new bookmark ended up going very well with the story! 🍄

Back at the doctor's office again because I'm the idiot that dunked her cast in the tub and tried to blow dry it better. 🤦🏻♀️

I seriously debated Dnf'ing this one. It finally picked up around the 200 page mark & ended strong. Was it worth it? I'm not sure. The author doesn't understand the psychology of cults or cult membership so that really killed this book since that was the focus. Also, the transitions between past & present were confusing & poorly defined. The short chapters made it easy to stick with. ⭐⭐💫 You could try it, but I warned you!

Three stories are told simultaneously by one narrator: what happened when she was a child, her life on a commune when she was a teenager, and her present day self. Lots of mysteries and all the answers at the end. A story that will stay with you and seems so realistic you have to remind yourself it‘s a novel.
In 3 days of trying I made it to page 10 only. I don't understand what is going on. It's weird and confusing. I'm putting this aside for now - I'm struggling too hard with it.
