My biggest gripe with non-fiction is when the pacing/narrative is bad and my biggest gripe with true crime is when the narrative focuses on prosecutors or "villain" instead of the victim, but this didn't do either! a win! Plus, I really liked the connections the author made towards things such as the Me Too movement. I do wish she would have mentioned why these women felt compelled to join due to their circumstances, or the heightened danger of patriarchal ideals within NXIVM, but I think this was easily portrayed through her telling of the women's stories and how they got involve; hopefully people pick up on those reasons while they're reading.
