ARC Review: The Project

 


I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

In The Project, Lo wants to be a writer and she wants to talk to her sister, Bea. But her boss has essentially declared there's no option for her to advance, and her sister is a member of The Unity Project, which Lo (and many others) believe to be a cult.

Determined to kill two birds with one stone, Lo begins visiting the sites of The Project, hoping to see her sister and get information that can be used to bring The Project and its leader, Lev Warren, down. But as Lo tries to get closer, she finds herself drawn in deeper, and she may not be able (or want) to find her way back out.

As in her amazing book, Sadie, Summers deftly tackles heady topics, such as the role of women in different facets of society, what it means to be part of a family (and what exactly defines a family), and what true darkness may lurk under a seemingly bright surface. Summers has a beautiful writing style that lends itself well to the eeriness hovering over every word of her newest story, drawing readers in just like the characters within the book are pulled in deep.
