Short and dark with some truly haunting imagery. BETTER KATE THAN NEVER was my favorite. And the very last page of the book is a brilliant twist.

I wish it had lingered more in certain plot points instead of using time jumps to brush over them, but it is heartfelt and really funny. The characters drive the story.

Most information provided was already in the podcast, but this is a great starting point for those interested in anti-MLM content. While I wish it had more information that I hadn't known before, it was clear, concise, and written with an accessible language.
