I got the Stand-In as one of my birthday presents last summer, and I finally got to pick it up. It was a fun book where these two women switch places. One gets to live a famous life while the other takes a break. However, it took some serious undertones pretty early on in the book. We see them struggle with dementia, depression, and workplace harassment. I want to read more books by Chu, and this book and her newest one are both in the plan that's included with Audible membership.
