Our online book festival is back! Join us for an event with Becky Holmes who will be talking to us about her book, Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You: The Murky World of Online Romance Fraud.

As a charity, our online fundraising book festival is so important to us and we are so very grateful for your support. 

Tickets are available for £5.00. All ticket sales raise funds for Suffolk Libraries.

Becky Holmes is the creator of, and voice behind, the popular Twitter/X account @deathtospinach where she takes great joy in wasting the time of internet fraudsters and the men who randomly send her photos of their bits. Having discovered a passion for using humour to tackle subjects usually considered boring or taboo, Becky hopes to continue to use her (often inappropriate) voice to shine a light on the shadowy side of humanity. 

About Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You

Online romance fraud is a problem across the globe. It causes financial and emotional devastation, yet many people refuse to take it seriously. This is the story of one middle-aged woman in a cardigan determined to understand this growing phenomenon.

No other woman has had so many online romances – from Keanu Reeves to Brad Pitt to Prince William – and Becky Holmes is a favourite among peacekeeping soldiers and oil rig workers who desperately need iTunes vouchers. By winding up scammers and investigating the truth behind their profiles, Becky shines a revealing, revolting and hilarious light on a very shady corner of the internet.

Featuring first-hand accounts of victims, examples of scripts used by fraudsters, a look into the psychology of fraud and of course plenty of Becky’s hysterical interactions with scammers, this is a must-read for anyone who needs a reminder that Keanu Reeves is NOT in love with them.
