this was so YA but not in a good way and I don't mind that genre when done right. this was just not for me and I didn't really care about the plot bc u know what's going to happen so there was nothing in this book that kept me wanting to continue besides the fact that I paid money for it so I had to finish. also how the fuck is there two more books, this is crazy
i didn't read the synopsis or tags so if I knew beforehand that the sci-fi part IS the plot twist i wouldn't even read it. i love sci-fi and fantasy and other genres but I absolutely HATE it when they become a plot twist in thrillers bc its not a thriller anymore?? i was so invested in the story and had so many theories and the second the reveal came i literally almost dnfed the book bc what's the point in finishing 😭 and I was right bc it dragged so much after the reveal i pushed the audio on 2x speed. i know it's just me and not the book but this will always make me mad, stop tagging stuff like this as thrillers when they are NOT that at all

as someone who's niche interest is anti multi-level marketing content, I ate all the stories and insides into being in one UP. this book has its flaws, especially at the end but I also didn't come to this book trying to learn new stuff bc I pretty much know most of it already. yeah the virtue signaling was cringe at times and the last chapter made me eye roll at her, but at the end of the day I just wanted some entertaining recounts of being in an mlm and I got it
