Tone of book just wasn’t for me. I appreciate the message, but I’ve read other ( imo better written) books that convey the same message

Solid story of Emily’s rise through the ranks of an mlm, her struggles with alcoholism and her realization of the dangers of mlms. These have rubbed me the wrong way since I was a teen, maybe it’s the introvert in me but I’d rather gouge out my own eyeballs then cold call anyone. I instantly block anyone who messages me that I haven’t spoke to since high school talking about their “ business opportunity “.
Still, I have friends who have participated in everything from 31 gifts to Young Living and I’ve bought things be supportive. It was interesting to read a perspective from someone who actually made money from this. Highly recommended read for anyone interested in mlms and their predatory practices.
