Ava Wong is the mother of a screaming toddler, the wife of a workaholic surgeon, and a lawyer who stepped away from the job when the baby was born and wants to go back to work, but can't see that happening anytime soon. When her old college roommate, Winnie Fang, re-enters her life with a moneymaking scheme involving counterfeit designer purses, Ava's hesitant — after all, she's never done anything illegal before. But she's also desperate for some cash, so she reluctantly agrees to the scam.
This is a fast-paced book that is compelling from a character standpoint while also offering a look inside the world of high-priced luxury counterfeits. It's fascinating, and makes me want to learn more about this particular type of crime. Thankfully, Chen has some excellent reading suggestions in the acknowledgements at the end of the book. (Also: how great is that cover???)
