The twists and turns in Anna Akbari’s book are outrageous ... Given that Akbari wrote her doctoral dissertation on "aspirational identity," it is bizarre that she barely mentions her own perspective as a sociologist until the book’s epilogue ... Akbari isn’t always an elegant writer, but I won’t soon forget this valiant attempt to hold a manipulator accountable.
Although the beginning section is somewhat confusing due to lack of information regarding the three women, once Akbari begins to detail her intense and intimate connection with Ethan, there is no putting this book down ... A riveting story that puts into perspective the dark dangers of forming online relationships.
