I’m not gonna lie, I was amused by the MC’s demeanor, at first because of her naïveté. Next thing I knew, I was sucked into the book. Camp Damascus is a better and more developed horror book than Straight, in my opinion. The plot discusses the insidousness of conversion therapy and the intensely Christian communities that support them. As a former member of an Assembly of God church, I found a lot of the content familiar. I definitely recommend this book!
