Review: The Project, by Courtney Summers

The hook:

Lo’s big sister Bea has been swept up in a cult called The Unity Project ever since their parents died in the tragic car accident that left Lo fighting for her life. Now, journalistic minded Lo is determined to find the truth behind The Project and get her sister back.

My impressions:

If you’ve read anything by Courtney Summers, you know not to expect to come away feeling good. This, like her other works, is about as far from a feel good book as you can get, but it’s enthralling all the same. And I promise you, no matter how prepared you are for things to get dark, you’re still going to find yourself hoping you’re wrong, believing, on some level, in a happy resolution that isn’t coming.

I highly recommend this book if you’re in the mood for something dark and twisted, something that will make your stomach turn even as you silently plead with the characters to save themselves. If you enjoy Summers’s other works or if you’re a fan of authors like Gillian Flynn, you will almost certainly enjoy this book. If you want to feel safe and secure after you put the book down, maybe read something else. You’ll be leaving the lights on after this one.

Happy reading may not be the best sign off here! XD
