This has a sapphic romance, a pyramid scheme with women who might actually be vampires, and a haunted cabin. Harriet is a high school teacher who feels like a mess, until she drinks the tea from a pyramid scheme called Serenitea. She becomes convinced that it will fix all her problems. When her friend Lucy goes missing after she also joins Serenitea, Harriet teams up with the gym teacher Harold and Kelsey, her friend/love interest, to take down Serenitea. Besides being a real page-turner, this book does an excellent job at showing how awful MLMs and pyramid schemes are. This is my first time reading a book by Stephanie Sanders-Jacob and it won't be my last.
