This book is a fun romp, a kin to Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan.
Gemma Huang is a Chinese American actress who is looking for her breakout roll. When she wins a roll that takes her to China, a place that her mum told her to never go to, she discovers an amazing secret. 
This is a nice book that takes us through high society in Beijing. I enjoyed the characters and the fun twists that the book took us on. While nothing extraordinary, it was a nice palet cleanse with likeable characters. The core messages of believing in oneself and caring for your family are a great thing to habe in a book.
