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

2.0

For anyone who loves the subject, but would like a much better written book: I highly recommend ‘Bad Blood’ by John Carreyrou. Everyone wants to read a story where they feel empathy for and fond feelings towards the main character. Even though the author was scammed out of $62,000, that unfortunately did not happen for me. It’s clear Rachel was happily enjoying being the side kick of a bossy girl, spending thousands of dollars with Anna on spa’s, lunches and celebrity workouts. It’s so hard to believe anyone would be okay with that kind of a unequal friendship, it says a lot about the author and her character. I also noticed her mentioning her long time BF Nick ends up traveling for months during the hardest time of her life. And she’s still with this guy? How is that even okay? And why was she persistently messaging Anna even though she was in jail and she helped the police to capture her. Why keep that up? I guess I’m left with more questions after reading the book.
