I liked this one. Easy to read/listen to and follow the journey she went through. As this is a topic I am very interested in, I knew a lot of the information already but there were still some new facts or perspectives I hadn't considered. This is more of a personal story and perspectives with facts rather than a strict non-fiction book, which isn't bad just worth pointing out. Would recommend to most people. Liked the content but the writing style was not really for me.

Hey Hun takes you through the author's story as she rose through the ranks of an MLM while discussing research on such groups. You get an insider look at the organization from Paulson and quotes from others who have left similar groups, while also seeing data about what these orgs actually look like monetarily and politically. There is also a lot of discussion about how some of these groups fit into frameworks made to identify cults, as well as the insidious role of white supremacy in the very structure of these groups. 

A big part that I wasn't expecting but was interesting to hear about the author's experience with alcoholism and recovery (and makes just so much sense considering, not just the MLM culture but "wine mom" culture more broadly). This was a really entertaining and informative book! I listened to it on audiobook, narrated by the author.
