3.5 stars. Way better than I expected. And actually down-right creepy at times. Though it still fell prey to the classic YA trope of "everything changed the day I met a BOY". Which, all right then. I'll just be over here rolling my eyes. Thankfully, it was pretty romance-lite as far as YA goes. 
 But in all honesty, if you're fascinated by cults and up for a contemporary thriller, I'd definitely check this one out.
