OP: The author is a stereotype for spoiled while millennial. The synopsis of the whole book is 'feel bad for me'. I can't believe anyone actually published it. [ Reply | More

Of course they published it. Look at how many people bought, read, and talked about it. You're here now, posting about it. [ Reply | More

Sure, but she took no responsibility for her part in it. She was happily a friend when she thought she was receiving a free ride to the good life. And she authorized the charges (granted with a verbal promise of repayment but still) and American Express eventually forgave them anyways. And she got a book and movie deal. But she claims that this was 'the worst thing that has ever happened to her' [ Reply | More

You sound like you've never been a victim of a crime. And, even if not, you sound like you completely lack empathy to boot. Let the book be a cautionary tale. There are plenty of talented Frank Abagnales out there and they are just waiting patiently for you. [ Reply | More

American Express probably did the math on bad press and legal action and decided it wasn't worth it. I don't think it was an ethical decision as much as business math. [ Reply | More
