You know that girl in high school who suffered from not diabetes but lie-abetes? The one who claimed to go to Paris every summer and intern for fashion greats even though she was 14? The one who was dating the pop singer and could totally prove it but kept forgetting to bring in their love letters? Who was born in the Bronx and grew up in LA but inexplicably was living in suburban nowhere? But when you asked why she explained it was because her family was in the witness protection program? She’s also xenophobic and problematic as hell and fully believes that everyone believes her pathological lies?

That’s who wrote this book.

I’m on page 5 and the author has already stereotyped and mocked Japanese women and written bizarre, clearly made up, would never happen encounters that led her to her PI job.

This book is a self indulgent lie fest.

Skip it.
