Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped Nxivm, the Cult That Bound My Life by Sarah Edmondson

2.0

It seems that I cannot go a month or two without reading a book about a cult, so here I am! Before this book, I had very little knowledge of NXIVM. This book will take you on Sarah Edmondson's twelve-year journey on how she got into NXIVM and how she escaped. It is a short book, around two-hundred pages filled with interesting details about how NXIVM brought people into the cult, and how it eventually blackmailed people into staying. I found my attention span ebb during this book, but I think it was because this book covers twelve years. Overall, it was an interesting read about a cult that recently got media attention.
