I knew Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You by Becky Holmes would be hilarious because Ive been following her interactions with romance scammers on Twitter for a while. What I wasnt prepared for was that it would also be eye opening and sometimes heartbreaking. A fabulous and dare I say it important read Jane Fallon, bestselling author of Worst Idea Ever Fabulous. I read this in a single weekend and I didnt want it to end. Scammers, con-artists, catfishers you have met your match. At last the web-bastards get their just deserts Jeremy Vine, TV and radio broadcaster This book is a total blast! Vitally informative and extremely funny, it had me gripped like a very fine thriller Peter James, bestselling author An extraordinary book, where a solid comic concept transforms into a thoughtful examination of the scammers and the scammed and how our need for love can be exploited. I thought I was getting a book I could laugh at on the toilet, but was instead forced to examine the human condition and my own frailties. What a scam! Richard Herring, comedian and writer I knew this book was going to be really funny, but I hadnt expected it to also be such a thoughtful and disturbing examination of the sad, seedy and scary world of online romance scammers. Beckys a brave woman, taking on these pests so we dont have to Charlie Higson, author and comedian A funny, sweary, absurd delight that knows just when to take the subject seriously too. I loved it Dave Gorman, comedian and presenter A hilarious and timely guide on how to fend off online scammers from someone prepared to take them on at their own game and deliver some richly deserved justice Simon Kernick, thriller writer A brilliant read.
