This was a crazy, good book and it’s so sad that it is not hard to believe it’s a real story. The amount of harassment and threats that whistleblowers face is insane. All they wanted to do was to shine light on the bad things going on behind closed doors. I recommend this book

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

False Claims by Lisa Pratta is a memoir of a brave whistleblower who worked with the Department of Justice to uncover the corruption of pharmaceutical sales by Questcor. Taking significant personal risks, she supported an investigation for many years. This book documents her incredible story.

I read this book in one sitting. The writing is clear and accessible. Although this book is nonfiction it reads like a novel. I highly recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

tw - author discusses being abused as a child (not in depth, but it's there)

I absolutely loved this book! False Claims tells Lisa Pratta's story of working in the pharmaceutical industry and uncovering shocking levels of corruption. While trying to balance her job and responsibilities as a single mom, she’s faced with the difficult decision of staying quiet or doing the right thing by blowing the whistle on illegal sales practices. The book is not just about corporate greed, but also about Lisa's incredible courage.

I really connected with her struggle—wanting to do the right thing but being terrified of losing her job. That internal conflict is something I totally understand. Lisa’s bravery and moral strength are so inspiring, and I admire her so much. I’d love to be the kind of person she is!

I couldn’t put this book down and read it all in one day because I was dying to know how it ended. It’s a true page-turner, with great writing and an engaging story. I could definitely see myself reading this again—it’s that good. If you're into stories about standing up to corruption, you need to read False Claims.
