I'm not sure I know anyone at this point who has not been invited to a "party", let alone how many of us have been an active part of one. Yes, even me. I sold ********* when our son was first diagnosed with allergies because we didn't know how deep his issues went. I didn't know where to turn for safe cleaning & hygiene products. I was a new mom and an easy target. We all have a story.

That being said, the authors personal story in how she got involved is very interesting and its decently written. I don't think this is a book for anyone currently deep in the MLM culture, but maybe if you are on the way out this could be a hopeful book for you.
The one issue with this book, is that it feels like a plea to not judge the author too harshly for all the things she did while she was part of her MLM. She does state many times that she has regrets and is making amends, but too often it felt like a book that was just trying so hard to distance oneself from all the political and ideological issues within MLM's. However, she does equate the MLM culture to that of the prosperity gospel, and that is 100% accurate and I couldn't agree more.
