You'll Never Believe Me: A Life of Lies, Second Tries, and Things I Should Only Tell My Therapist

The compelling, edgy, compassionate, laugh-out-loud memoir from Kari Ferrell, formerly known as the "Hipster Grifter"

>As the media--in true early aughts form--begins to sensationalize and fetishize her story and thousands followed along online, she hides from cops in a grungy Brooklyn apartment, eventually goes to jail where she survives prison riots and makes friends with her fellow inmates, struggles in a trailer park after her release, and in search of her roots, returns to Korea for the first time since birth.

In turns rollicking and irreverent, warm and compassionate, Kari's is a heartfelt memoir of redemption and reconciliation, as she eventually dedicates her life to activism, social justice, reform, and setting the record straight. You'll Never Believe Me tells Kari's story for the first time, introducing a fresh, hilarious new voice to the literary stage, and offering readers a nostalgic, uplifting, and, at times, unbelievable book that grapples with truth, why we lie, and what it means when our pasts don't paint the whole picture.
