The Stand-In
by Lily Chu
Gracie Reed is keeping it together despite getting fired from her job and caring for her mom. But one day a mysterious SUV pulls up next to her and next thing she knows, Gracie is being asked to pretend to be famous Chinese actress Fangli, and act as her stand-in. Gracie agrees to this crazy plan knowing the money will help her now that she is jobless and will get her mom into a nicer nursing home. But can she keep up with this double life?
This book was so much fun! I adored Gracie as a main character and seeing her find her confidence and her identity throughout the book was a beautiful journey. I loved that while the romance between Gracie and movie star Sam was a big part of this story, this was more a women’s fiction and spent just as much time developing the friendship between Gracie and Fangli as well as Gracie’s relationship with herself. This book has some heavier/emotional science along with a few laugh out loud moments, and was really just a wonderful reading experience.
Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for the advanced copy!
