I was snooping on Amazon in the memoirs section. Cash Carraway's book was listed. (Skint Estate: A memoir of poverty, motherhood and survival). Some of the reviews:
"Whilst there are clearly elements of truth in this story, altogether it feels like an exaggerated version of a life. She admits in the book that she has made up elements of her life previously and frequently lied and yet expects us to believe all that she’s written here? "
" I'm not alone in that and I was delighted at the promise of someone speaking up for us, about the lives so many are forced to live - but how we do it with resilience and pride and even sometimes joy. What I got was salacious and possibly fanciful tales. "
" Why don't we hear anything about almost her entire teens and 20s? Did *every* single person call her a slag as she was a single mother and ask her when she was going to abort her child? Did she really send 172 DNA testing kits to her ex when she had no money? All her furniture was crushed on the way down to Kent and the driver tried to charge her £500 and then bled on her sofa and put a voodoo spell on her?? It's just all too much, like a work of fiction rather than a memoir. I'm left with a feeling that I've been lied to, which completely undermines what she has to say - this is a huge shame, as her voice deserves to be heard. I know that people with chaotic upbringings often lead chaotic lives but this just doesn't ring true - it's too much. Cash - tell us the truth and we will be on your side. Don't lie to us. You don't need to."
