My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress by Rachel DeLoache Williams

emotional informative reflective

3.5

First I watched Netflix's "The Tinder Swindler," then I had to watch the female version "Inventing Anna," and finally I had to read Rachel's book to get her side of the Anna story. The Netflix show did have me rooting against Rachel since she made so much money off book deals and movie rights plus her card debts were forgiven, but book Rachel is right, Anna still stole the money and caused Rachel over a year of dealing with the debt and panicked mindset. I will say the show is more exciting since the book is more about Rachel and her personal story during Anna interactions, while Netflix gives the whole background including the other people and socialists she scammed. Regardless, I appreciated the insight and I can finally put my Anna obsession to rest since I don't want to support her podcast or anything else. 😅
