ARC Review 

Thank you to Flatiron Books for my free copy of this book. 

Jia Song has just made junior partner, making it one step closer to senior partner. And now her boss is giving her the perfect opportunity to make that happen sooner. She will work with the Park family, a Korean family who made their fortune in the beauty industry. But now their father is divorcing their mother to be with his pregnant mistress and claiming they only have 25 million dollars. Though they are supposed to be worth close to a billion. So the kids hire the law firm to find out where the money is. Jia is chosen because she to is Korean, but she will make the best of it. Follow her across the world as she tries to find the money, learn more about this family and the members, and maybe learn more about herself and her family. 

I loved this book so much! I loved Jia and found her to be an intriguing character. I am not an immigrant so I can’t give real commentary on that part of the story but from what I understand I feel like the author did a good job of portraying that part of the story. The other characters were definitely interesting and sometimes I liked them and sometimes I didn’t. Oh there is also an”author” who has some chapters to make commentary which I thought was so fun. And you do get to find out who that is in the end. This was a fun ride and I think everyone needs to read this!
