Don’t waste your time on this one. While it a good memoir (details of a messy moment in time of the authors life), Inventing Anna on Netflix gives more of an all around look at Rachel and Anna’s story. 

I did like seeing more of Rachel’s side as the Netflix special did mix a few things up there, I found this memoir repetitive in places. For example, Rachel shared so many texts from Anna that were almost the same that it got tiresome to read for what felt like the fourth or fifth time in such a short memoir. 

Also, as Inventing Anna puts Rachel as a poor girl fledging her way through NYC - it’s important to point out that her father was running for Congress at the time this was all happening. Let’s just call this for what it is - privilege at its finest for being blinded by a fake heiress and deceiving yourself into thinking credit card companies care about your friendships
