I was going through a period of fascination with Chasidic Jews a few years ago and was excited to find one by an ex Satmar woman because they're the least known about to non Chasids, but this one ended up being my least favorite. To me this one seemed to be too much about the author's personal vendettas.

My two personal favorites were a book written by a non-Chassidic Jewish woman about the NYC Luvavitch community from spending a lot of time with one woman in one family (Holy Days by Lisa Harris), and a film by a former Chasidic woman (Divan). There were more. I can see, though, where if Unorthodox is the first intro it would be interesting.
