Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen
3.0
This one was quite an entertaining read!
"Money can't buy happiness... but it can buy a decent fake." It's the story of two Asian American women who band together to grow a counterfeit handbag scheme into a lucrative global enterprise. The story is told as Ava recounts everything that happened to a detective.
I really enjoyed how the scheme worked, how everything unfolded, how certain prejudices played into everything, how the characters used it as a leverage, the unreliable narration and the twists! I did have trouble liking the characters but that may have been the point. Although I did understand some of the parenting woes.
Thank you NetGalley William Morrow and @BookClubGirl for the ARC!
