I found the army portions to be more engaging. I am curious of what she has to say about good versus bad leadership. It’s well written.

5.0

Daniella Mestyanek’s writing is highly intelligible and exceptionally vulnerable. This was a very difficult listen due to the dark content, but I was so glad to get to be a part of Daniella’s story as a listener. She shares a very unique experience of being raised in a cult and also sheds light on many pertinent systematic issues within the US Army, based on her personal experience. I recommend this book to feminists, cult scholars, and anyone with an interest this sort of subject matter. Please read the content warnings.
