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

2.0

There is some really great information and investigation in here, and I credit Becky Holmes for that.

That's the only good thing I can say and the reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Overall, despite her emphasis that this is serious stuff, it feels like Holmes pokes fun at much of it. There's also just a really cruel vibe and bigotry running throughout, especially fatphobia. Unfortunately, I listened to the audiobook, which really highlighted Holmes as the sort of person I wouldn't want to spend more than five minutes in the company of. I give her credit for raising this important topic, but it is very hard to get past Holmes herself, who comes across as some sort of failed stand-up comic who loves the sound of their own voice.
