Scammer is a story of redemption, tracing Caroline Calloway's journey from childhood dreams of literary fame through her rise at Exeter and Cambridge and chaotic fallout.

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.
