Finding, Natural Order, with its unique cover intrigued me. Realizing only two people had rated it on Goodreads interested me even more. This was an odd read. A really odd read. A story about a beekeeper, whose marriage is falling apart, mostly due to having an affair with his ex-wife and his son is in a cult. The narrative of the story follows Jerry Hook the beekeeper and his son Eli as he navigates through the cult. The chapters that featured Jerry were my favorites. These chapters felt very reminiscent of Damnation Spring by Ash Davidson. The chapters that surround Eli were a little discombobulating. Seriously the portions that were incoherent. Overall not my favorite read but still glad that I went on this little adventure.
