Scammer by Caroline Calloway
1.0

EDIT: Wow, the book price has been raised to $65 not including shipping, so I’m priced out of this book.

However, having read most of the author’s online publications so far, I’m going to leave my review and rating as is. I’ve had a look through online reviews and it does appear that whole chapters of the book are entirely recycled content, so I’m confident that I’ve read enough of this to retain my original review.

Until I can find a more affordable copy and read more for myself, my original review is as follows:

You can read an excerpt for a donation to charity on iamcarolinecalloway.com, though I doubt this book will ever actually be self-published at this point! (If it does, I'll update my review.) But if the excerpt reveals anything about the book, it's that it's confusing and choppy, filled with grammatical errors and misspellings, as well as overly gratuitous adjectives and metaphors. She rips her entire voice from other popular memoirists; I'd just finished Cat Marnell's How To Murder Your Life and the tone and exclamations in the excerpt were hollow echoes of Marnell. Skip this one, it won't add anything to the current conversation around this particular influencer.
