My Friend Anna is completely addictive - I read until late into the night and was completely absorbed I hadn't realized that this was a true story until further into the book when I started to research the media alongside it.
It is well written - although there are parts where it's a bit fluffy, I couldn't help but think 'how did you not confront this person sooner?'
Anna is completely audacious and seemingly sucked in a lot of people with her deviousness and lies and I really cant wait to see what TV makes of this story.
However, I did like reading a first-hand account of how Rachel was sucked into Anna's world.

This book certainly had some fascination for me in terms of reading how people could be taken in so easily by a fairly obvious sounding con artist but nobody in this unedifying tale comes out of it particularly well.

There was just about enough detail to keep my attention until the end but there was also a lot of padding and you just wonder why Williams stuck around for so long when she realised just who and what The Fake Heiress really was.

Interesting account of the 'fake heiress' , made even more intriguing having learnt that she's now free already!

It's amazing how many blind eyes are turned once people think you have money isn't it?!
Anna is indeed a sneaky little schemer. Though the people around her, including the author Williams, led themselves blindly down the path to ruin from sheer greed and the inability to say NO to someone who they thought had deep pockets.

I personally don't think any lessons were learnt from this situation by anyone involved. Such a fake bunch of people all around 🤔
