🎧📖 True Crime and cults are right up my alley so this should have been an easy pick. Unfortunately it was an absolute slog. I guess it was the writing style, think it could have used some editing. It was just really hard to get through as it didn't hold my attention at all. Disappointing.

"[AA] was changing my friend's life for the better."
Was it, though? Research has shown that AA's methods really only works if you're a middle age or older white professional, male, christian, who binge drinks alcohol.
Anyway, this book so far is more "magazine story" than serious non-fiction, and I need my facts to be presented academically to take them seriously at this point. Not terrible so far though.

Cults scare me so, so much! This book was so sad, the stuff she went through - I am so terrified of being caught up in something similar (but I don't have the $ for them to really want me).

One of the greatest investigative books of all time. What a story!

This was a rather lighthearted look at cults and specifically the language and tactics they use to attract followers and more importantly, convince them to remain in a cult. My issue is I wanted more….specifically about cults! A large portion of the book is spent examining other cult-like groups to include multi-level-marketing companies and fitness programs. It was fun, but I would have preferred a more detailed exploration on this subject.

Spent a little time reading outside. I had wanted to go to a beach and my hubby found one, but --- it was still too cold to spend time in the water. Hopefully soon!
