About this listen

Nearly a decade ago, infamous literary 'it' girl Caroline Calloway created the proposal for a book she called School Girl while cutting up lines of Adderall with her Cambridge student ID. She promised followers and publishers alike that her life was a perfect fairytale up until the day she went to rehab.

As her 2015 book deal crumpled without a manuscript, Calloway was called a scammer, a fraud and a one-woman Fyre Fest, although during this time she managed to get and remain 'amphetamine-sober'. She also promised herself that she would never again sell a book without a finished manuscript. However, the chances of her ever producing a book beloved by fans and critics all but flickered out when her former best friend, Natalie Beach, published a viral tell-all in The Cut, falsely claiming to have been Calloway's ghostwriter all along.

A testament to the power of redemption, Scammer follows Calloway from her childhood dreams of becoming a famous memoirist, through her rise to internet fame at Phillips Exeter Academy and Cambridge University, to her catastrophic, Manhattan fallout with Natalie Beach, up until her most recent evolution into the beloved, impossible-to-ignore, downtown anti-hero that she is today.

Really enjoyed this. I must confess, a few years ago I had a very dim opinion of CC. I still think she’s a flawed human being, but this girl can write!! Wow. And I have so much compassion for everything she has been through. I also have a new level of appreciation of how clever and enterprising she is. I really enjoyed this. There were a few moments in the car where I gasped, whooped for joy or gave her a some applause. No artist is a perfect paragon of flawless behaviour. CC is just another in the great tradition of artists being messy humans who create fascinating art. It’s not an out-and-out redemption arc but it surely lays the foundation.

Yes I wanted to hate her too
