My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress by Rachel DeLoache Williams
2.0
2.25
Shallow. The community surrounding this, Anna, the author and even the story itself seems to define shallow. The writing wasnt terrible. I will give it that. It was well paced and easy to devour. However, after reading this I can say I entered not knowing much about Anna, and finished in the same position.
The only elements of substance in this book is the naivety and continual lack of astuteness on behalf of the author. Unwitting? If so it is to a to a glaring fault. The entire book smacks of a name dropping lack of awareness. If anything, this book is a testament to how privilege can stunt you. Bailed out constantly, the author entered this story in a life without consequence and left much the same way.
