You'll Never Believe Me

The hilarious and headline-stealing memoir from Kari Ferrell, AKA the ‘Hipster Grifter’, perfect for fans of Inventing Anna, Tinder Swindler and Cat Marnell’s How to Murder Your Life

‘Emphatically audacious, hysterical and compelling. Read this memoir!’
CAT MARNELL

Adopted from South Korea by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, and ran with the ‘bad crowd’ in a bid to fit in. Stealing from shops soon turned into picking up men (and picking their pockets), and, before she knew it, Kari had graduated from petty theft to the state’s most-wanted list.

Though she was able to escape her hometown for the bright lights of New York, she couldn’t outrun her new monicker: the Hipster Grifter. But beyond the internet infamy, headlines and speculation, there’s a side to Kari the media never saw – until now.

Rollicking and irreverent, You’ll Never Believe Me tells Kari’s story for the first time. A heartfelt narrative of redemption and reconciliation, Kari’s memoir is a hilarious, nostalgic, uplifting (and yes, at times unbelievable) tale that grapples with truth, why we lie, and what it means when our pasts don’t paint the whole picture.
