Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen
3.0
If you had told me I'd be drawn into a mystery focusing on the morally complicated world of high-end counterfeit handbags, I'd have likely laughed in your face.
Still, Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen is an entertaining and insightful look at the counterfeit purse market. While I remain to be convinced that this is as effective a deconstruction of the American dream and the myth of the model minority, it moves along quickly enough, and Chen is up to something innovative and subversive here.
Quite how subversive one can be when you've still got a live-in nanny to look after your mind-numbingly annoying brat of a child, I do wonder.
