Counterfeit: A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and New York Times BESTSELLER - the most exciting and addictive heist novel you’ll read this summer!

Product Information

The story is good but the characters felt shallow and focused on problem solving that didn't involve morals in the solution. This novel covers many topics and it was especially interesting reading about the perspectives of the American Dream from these women. The protagonists both play heavily on stereotypes to get away with a lot, because they supply the kind of narratives people expect to hear (just as they supply the handbags people expect to see).

I’ve actually been to Guangzhou for a work trip and I remember people telling me I should check out one of those markets. The closest I got to liking something was when I drew two massive triangles on my face, but I was still not a fan. After a while, it became very clear that Ava was quite self-centred and whiny, and her insecurities had been manipulated by Winnie, thereby making her an unwilling participant in her nefarious business. These authors are not ready to put in the extra effort to break these stereotypes by removing the misconceptions. She needs someone with Ava’s background and despite her initial reservations, Ava eventually agrees to join in.All of that gets blended with the 30-something lament of women who did all the right things, went to the right schools, got the jobs our parents wanted us to get, married the right person, had the healthy though imperfect children, and then found ourselves trapped in a world we hate because we met everyone else's expectations and never created expectations or goals of our own. The story offers some interesting insights into the luxury handbags business (both genuine and counterfeit).

For fans of Hustlers and How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, the story of two Asian American women who band together to grow a counterfeit handbag scheme into a global enterprise—an incisive and glittering blend of fashion, crime, and friendship from the author of Bury What We Cannot Take and Soy Sauce for Beginners.

There’s a lot of talk regarding topics like immigration, racial profiling, and the strained trade relationship between the United States and China just to name a few things.

As a strait-laced, rule-abiding Chinese American lawyer with a successful surgeon as a husband, a young son, and a beautiful home—she’s built the perfect life.
