Make Me Better is an intriguing title…. It’s a call to action and a desire we have to fit in, to belong and to be changed into something we are meant to be. Celia is visiting the island for the salt festival, the salt flats there are the only product for an island cult that doesn’t wear shoes or have personal autonomy. Celia has always been seeking and eager to be a part of something successful. She is a senior brand ambassador for overpriced yoga pants, i e , she is in deep with yet another MLM.
This is a pretty creepy slow burn. I loved the plot and the setting, it was so interesting to see how the cult was formed and how the members all viewed their internal world versus the outside. It would be a great book club selection as different things are revealed and you can’t help but wonder what you would do in the same situation. I found the book very descriptive and the characters to be very deeply drawn.
Audiobook review/ I appreciate the narrator’s subtle performance and pacing. Because the narrative has time jumps and many characters, some may find it harder to follow on audio. I did rewind and relisten a few times to get my bearings. But the plot and themes are strong enough to really capture your interest.
Thank you to Macmillan audio and NetGalley for the ALC. book to be published May 12.
3.5/5 stars
