Imagine have a friend offer to take you on an all expenses paid trip to Morocco.
Imagine her card not working.
Imagine booking the plane tickets on your personal card.
Imagine having to foot the bill of a $30k+ vacation for 4 people.
My Friend Anna is told through the eyes of her former friend, Rachel DeLoache Williams. Looking back, it seems impossible to fathom how your friend could have conned you out of thousands and thousands of dollars. Based on what we now know about Anna Sorokin Delvey, it's easy to question how on earth Rachel didn't realize her friend was a con-artist. The thing is, we've all made excuses for friends. We've all loaned money under the guise that it will eventually be paid back. It's just that price tag for the average person is far lower.
It's not uncommon for trust fund babies to be in NYC. That's how Anna went undetected for so long. She slipped into the NYC art scene and created a persona she wanted for herself. People like this have one way of thinking....if they believe it's true, then it's true. It's manifestation in the truest sense.
I've seen a lot of negative reviews for My Friend Anna but I've really enjoyed reading it. It explores Rachel and Anna's friendship and how the long con escalated to that tipping point in Morocco.
