Now on paper this is absolutely my kind of book, true crime- CHECK, Psychotic weirdo -CHECK, completely unbelievable storyline - CHECK!!! However, and I'm sad to say it, this was just so unbelievably far fetched I couldn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped. I know this is true crime, and it actually happened, I'm not going to say she's lying, I just cannot believe people fall for these scams. And the way in which she fell (HARD!!) I'm still shocked a few days later. I think were supposed to feel sorry for her but I just couldn't. However, I did like the way after a chapter she would reflect on how she now feels about the situation she found herself in, it was really insightful. Overall it was okay but bloody frustrating. If you liked the Netflix show 'The Tinder Swindler' you may too love this!
