Don't Call It a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM by Sarah Berman

dark informative medium-paced

5.0

I knew next to nothing about NXIVM when I picked this book up but I saw the word cult in the title and I had to have it because I’m high key obsessed with anything cult related. I was quite shocked to find out how large NXIVM was and how many high profile celebrities it drew. It always amazes me even more when famous people get involved with things like this, it goes to show that money can’t buy happiness nor can it buy intelligence. The things NXIVM got up to are caught shocking, from sex trafficking to forced labor and just about everything in between. And that they were so high profile makes it even more disgusting that they got away with it for so many years and irreparably harmed so many people. Highly recommend this read if you’re at all interested by cults or true crime in general!
