Read This If You Love: Inventing Anna / Catch Me If You Can / Queen of the Con (podcast)

Lora Rick wants to make her dream of becoming a fashion magazine editor a reality. When her actual life is falling apart, she lands an internship at Elle. There she crosses paths with Cat Wolff—a charismatic and enthralling figure living off her billionaire father’s dime. Except…who IS Cat…really? A magical persona or a masterful con artist? 

Socialite con artist meets Catch Me If You Can is told via emails, texts, reports, and diary entries. A great and easy-to-read thrill of a ride, it is the perfect pool or beach read when you need some low mental investment entertainment. 

When I’m not reading a book, I’m often listening to podcasts and one of my favorites is Queen of the Con by Johnathan Walton. Walton experienced his own con artist and launched the podcast to expose her and others like her in future seasons. It’s a fascinating subculture and if you liked Cover Story, you should check out the podcast.

One other aside about this book…Susan Rigetti (Fowler) is also the author of Whistleblower. If you aren’t aware of her own real-life story, it is worth a read.
