Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou
4.0
Crazy and interesting.
I knew of this story vaguely from a few years ago! I didn't know this book would be about Elizabeth Holmes prior to picking it up, so it kept my interest since I already had some knowledge on what was being written about. That aside, learning about how manipulative and fraudulent Holmes was, was just... Wow. I can't fully put into words how I feel about it overall. It's almost like watching a car crash take place on a highway. I'm almost in disbelief that this was able to go on for so long.
I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because there was a bit too much detail that didn't really do much for the overall narrative in my opinion. I didn't need to know what restaurants investors ate at or the details of random employees appearance. The rest is so well researched. A true page turner. I'm happy Holmes is spending time in prison lol
