There Is No Ethan: How Three Women Caught America's Biggest Catfish by Anna Akbari
3.5
I listened to this one on audio thanks to Libro.fm and would definitely recommend going that route as it’s great to hear the correspondences come from different voices!
This story is frustrating and infuriating and involves so much emotional manipulation. While it never gets financial (which I feel most modern catfishing stories evolve into), you can see the emotional and mental trauma “Ethan” left behind.
While I can see the importance of seeing so much of the email correspondence with Ethan, I found the latter half to be far more interesting and would’ve liked to get to that sooner!
