Omschrijving

  • ‘I knew Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You by Becky Holmes would be hilarious because I’ve been following her interactions with romance scammers on Twitter for a while. What I wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 hadn’t expected it to also be such a thoughtful and disturbing examination of the sad, seedy and scary world of online romance scammers. Becky’s a brave woman, taking on these pests so we don’t 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. Moves effortlessly between hilarious and informative and back again’ Ed Byrne, comedian and actor
  • ‘Clever, pertinent and very, very funny ... Striking journalism’ Daniel Finkelstein, columnist for The Times
  • 'Astonishing' Daily Mail
  • 'Eye opening' Good Housekeeping
  • 'A revealing, revolting look into the world of romance fraud . . . Entertaining . . . Holmes writes in the sort of jolly, happily vulgar register popularised by Caitlin Moran' Daily Telegraph
  • 'Her prose radiates empathy . . . Holmes's charming grasp of romance fraud is undeniable' Washington Post
  • 'Equal parts riotous and enlightening, this peek behind the digital curtain underlines the dangers and delights of the Information Age' Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

Becky Holmes is the creator of, and voice behind, the popular Twitter (X) account @deathtospinach. When she isn't trolling scammers online, Becky can be found accosting people's dogs for a cuddle or staring at things she can't afford on the internet. Becky has a first class BA (Hons) from Royal Holloway, University of London, and is based in Stratford-upon-Avon (where there are, coincidentally, a lot of dogs to cuddle).
