i grew up in a Christian cult (finally left as an adult) and my therapist recommended i read a book of someone with a similar experience. any recs? 👀 by estoraboara Related: Literaturre from Ireland/U.K. Non-fantasy/scifi fiction novel with a main character who is crafting, building, tinkering a lot e.g. a kid during summer vacation building treehouses, gadgets in his freetime. I’m looking for something that a teenage boy who is into videogames would love to read. Recommendation needed – something like The Ploughmen Suggest me a book which entirely changed your perspective on life Books where unsettling/new/unexpected customs and tribal groups emerge
