Fun and informative, Emily Lynn Paulson has a comedic style that made this an enjoyable read. This definitely leans more on the memoir side rather than an all-encompassing deep dive into MLMs and their connection to white supremacy, which isn't necessarily bad but might influence others' decision to pick this book up or not. 

As a memoir, it's okay, and I felt the author was heartfelt, looking back on her journey within her MLM with equal parts appreciation and disdain. She didn't hold back from acknowledging her own issues and the things she regrets about her time, but she doesn't write off her experience as a total loss either, which made for a well-rounded memoir experience. As an analysis of MLMs, I was a bit disappointed and didn't feel like it went super deep or that it was particularly well-researched.

The parts about white supremacy felt a bit wish-washy to me, and sometimes I felt like they were thrown in as addendums rather than being something the author actively researched and intended to write about. But I do think this book is a great exploration of capitalism, how it isolates people and preys on their fears and dreams, and how it turns peoples' lives into a cult-like experience of victim-turned-perpetrator crabs in buckets.

It was interesting to talk about an MLM from an insider perspective, a perspective that I think is definitely lacking when it comes to the conversation about MLMs and their toxic practices. Overall felt like this was a genuine book with an entertaining enough voice, despite its flaws.
