Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love with You: The Murky World of Online Romance by Becky Holmes
funny
informative
fast-paced
4.0
genuinely funny and accessible book about a really misunderstood area of crime - felt less like a traditional nonfiction book and more like listening to a friend monologue about their latest hyperfixation for several hours. the case studies were v well done and really humanised this issue.
while i appreciated that this was a v victim-focused book, I do wish the scammers’ background could been explored a bit more so that their motives could be better understood beyond the generic ‘evil man wants money’ explanation. also, could’ve done without the repeated mentions of how attractive the author found certain men - just didn’t think it was necessary in the context of the book.
