Keanu Reeves is Not in Love With You: The Murky World of Online Romance Fraud by Becky Holmes

informative sad medium-paced

3.0

I knew of Becky Holmes prior to reading this nonfiction novel due to her presence on Twitter.

I enjoyed the mix of humour and serious tones of this book in exploring online romance fraud and scams. 

It was interesting to learn about the origins of these type of scams and how they often be a cover up for more serious crime. 

The victims stories were really upsetting as you could sense their vulnerability and embarrassment at being conned into giving over their life savings.

I like to think I’m quite switched on so the advice for recognising a scammer wasn’t really helpful to me but would be invaluable to the right audience.
