Armageddon Summer

The characters' struggles felt so real and nuanced. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or observations about youth and religion.

The book made me think about how easily fear can be manipulated, especially in vulnerable teens. Would love to hear others' reactions to the portrayal of faith and control.

The relationship added a layer of hope but also complexity. I'm wondering if the romantic subplot was always meant to contrast or challenge the cult's ideology.
