are companies that sell products and recruit people to join and sell too. The book says MLMs are not honest and
hurt many people.
The book shares stories of people who joined MLMs and lost money. Some lost a lot. They were promised they'd

details of how MLMs target women and use friendship and sisterhood to sell. They make people feel special and
part of a group. But really, they're just selling products.
