Publisher's Summary
Hustlers meets Big Little Lies in the heist of the summer....
Meet Ava: rule-abiding lawyer who has ticked all of life’s boxes. She’s married to a successful surgeon and has just taken an indefinite career break to raise her adorable toddler. A picture-perfect life.
Meet Winnie: Ava’s old college roommate. Once awkward, quiet and apparently academically challenged, she left Stanford in a shroud of scandal. But now, she is charismatic, wealthy and has returned to town dripping in designer accessories. An actual perfect life.
When the two women bump into one another at a local coffee shop, it seems like fate has intervened: Winnie’s new-found success is courtesy of a shady business and she needs a favour; Ava is realising she is not built for the stay-at-home life. But what starts as one favour turns into two, then three, and soon Ava is in far deeper than she ever imagined.
Now Ava has to make the ultimate decision: cut and run, or risk it all?
Critic Reviews
"Counterfeit is an entertaining, luxurious read — but beneath its glitz and flash, it is also a shrewd deconstruction of the American dream and the myth of the model minority...innovative and subversive." (New York Times)
"Riveting and energetic…Chen deftly guides readers through the exploits of old friends Ava and Winnie while also exploring the intricacies of friendship, class, culture and survival." (Balli Kaur Jaswal, acclaimed author of Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows)
"Sly and thoroughly compelling…Chen's ingenious plot will keep you breathless to the last page." (Claire Messud, New York Times best-selling author of The Burning Girl)

OK but Nothing Special
It’s a light story with nothing surprising.
Just happened to be listening when a real life version
of this sort of thing has been playing out in Sydney.

Annoying - a limp story, painfully told.
Story limped along to an equally dull conclusion. The characters were uninspiring and the dialogue annoying.

Not great
Didn’t love this. Not a brilliant story and I didn’t connect with the characters much. An easy read but not very gripping

Light but boring
Story line that held promise but under delivers with one-dimensional characters and predictable turns. Do not bother.
