Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl
It all began with a Birkin. When Jia Song was fifteen she saw her first Birkin in person and ever since then she wanted to have nice things. Now twenty some years later Jia is a junior partner at a NY law firm and is finally about to get her own Birkin. And she is now getting her big break as her boss at her law firm personally assigned her a big case. The case is the implosion of the most famous Korean family in the world! But this story is about the journey she goes on not only to help the Park family but what truly matters in her life.
I really enjoyed this book! It is laugh out loud funny! It’s quick and easy! This is such a great adult debut for Renee! Some parts were a bit slow for me, but then some parts were a bit too rushed for me. I love the mystery aspect of this book. I also really liked the growing relationship between Jia and her potential love interest and also the Park siblings. What was one of my favorite things about this book was the Korean culture and how it’s intertwined in the story. The ending got me!!! Omg Renee!!! Also thank you Renee for chapter titles and short chapters! We need to bring back chapter titles!!
Thank you Flatiron for allowing me to read this early!
