I found this so interesting! I have watched her TV series so I do know a lot about Scientology already. But I really like this because we got her story. The show is mostly other peoples stories and like the rules and all that stuff so it was really interesting to see her thoughts and her process of leaving the church and what she thought of it, also it was really interesting to learn about her life. I really enjoyed that because she is really interesting and actually so funny like she made me laugh in this book a lot. Also, this is a Tom Cruise hate account, so it was interesting to learn more about him, because she actually had like contact with him in Scientology.

Lovely book, this story is heartbreaking and mindblowing. Over here in Europe (I grew up in Germany), there is almost only negative publicity on Scientology and I was aware of some of the practices, but this really explains the attraction and terrible impact of Scientology on its members. I feel sympathy for Leah and all other (ex-)scientologists. The book was an easy read, with some juicy Hollywood-stories and great, realistic insights into the system of Scientology.
