Very fun in that heist kinda of way. Despite their actions I found myself rooting that things would end well!

I get that many people who have reviewed this feel like this theme has been overdone in the face of books/movies like Crazy Rich Asians but honestly, I never found it boring and LOVED the story.

I love a story focused on women and the concept of counterfeit designer handbags, something we have ALL thought about, which made this extra juicy.

I won't write much more in hopes that I don't give away some of the story, but my only critique was that I was not too fond of the book's styling. Dialogue was not written with punctuation and some time jumps made continuity difficult. This did not affect my overall feelings about the book but did take some getting used to.

Way too long over-blown short story.
