Don't Call It a Cult, by Sarah Berman
I am a crime junkie through and through and nothing captures my attention quite like a good cult. Oh, I’m not supped to call it that. Erm, nothing captures my attention quite like a good sex trafficking pyramid scheme/harem disguised as a self-help organization. From NXIVM’s beginnings as an MLM in the 1990s, to the demise of its leader in 2019, Berman expertly lays out every odd detail of what's been dubbed a “sex cult.” Warning: there’s rape, branding, and…volleyball? Also, the Dalai Lama.
