Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped Nxivm, the Cult That Bound My Life by Sarah Edmondson
beautifuldoom3's review against another edition
4.0
This was SO good. It’s crazy to think that this can happen and that this was SO recent! I remember seeing when the people got arrested from NXIVM and not really knowing what happened aside from some sex trafficking. This book was so insightful. Sarah Edmondson is brave for sharing her story.

Love hearing Sarah’s story as I have been a long time fan of her podcast. The book offered a lot of background on NXIVM and her experience.

I picked this up after hearing Sarah interviewed on Sounds Like A Cult and watching The Vow. It is an interesting story of how normal people got caught up in a cult and the thing that made her and her husband get out. The tension over should the family move to NXIVM headquarters was interesting as this wasn’t really discussed in The Vow. Would recommend but be aware the opening pages of the book should not be read immediately before or after eating.
