In this article assigned for class, we the readers are taken on a swift and methodical journey through the life of a professional liar and con-artist. Despite initial reaction to hate this mystery woman, you instead find yourself rooting for her. Through the title you can assume that a woman tricks an ivy league. What unravels later on in the piece is that she not only tricks an ivy league, but also everyone around her, including herself. She lives in constant agony knowing that any misstep could potentially cost her the livelihood and peace that she had come to love.
The article which appears in the Rolling Stone, carries us like a really good episode of Law & Order. The kind of episode that you don't even want to get up and go to the bathroom for fear that the commercials will end too fast and you will miss something incredibly important. Sabrina Edrely captured my attention from the very beginning and never let it go. The tone is clearly similar to a detective trying to unravel a case. The plot is somewhat of a mystery and thriller all rolled into one, with a little action and drama sprinkled on top. Overall this was an incredible piece.
