Emily Lynn Paulson provides a unique perspective to the MLM story as someone who made it to the highest ranks of the business. The story moved quickly until she realized some of the major problems with "Rejuvinat," yet continued to make excuses for why she couldn't leave. I don't think she has fully reflected on the harm she caused to others by bringing them into the MLM and persuading them to stay even when they were losing money. Further, she lacks depth when it comes to discussing white supremacy in MLM culture. Beyond citing a few studies about racial demographics, she doesn't engage with how and why white supremacy goes hand-in-hand with direct selling companies. In conclusion, Emily's story, while interesting, does not provide the depth that the subtitle "Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy and Other Lies..." indicates. 

A very charming and reflective read. I highly recommend listening to the audio version read by Chenoweth as she's vulnerable and adds a lot of emotion to the text.

While the concept of this book is exciting, the execution is quite poor. Especially for an official book at this price point, the editing was rushed and I doubt that they reviewed a prototype before creating copies for sale. The focal point of several pictures (Taylor Swift) is placed in the center of the spread, resulting in her face being in the gutter as this book does not lay flat. In time, I may have the benefit of nostalgia and appreciate this book as a tour memento.
