How to upend your life:

  • Get fired by gross, handsy boss
  • Fail to do laundry (again)
  • Be mistaken for famous Chinese actress
  • Fall head-first into glitzy new world

Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together.

But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in. The catch? Gracie will have to be escorted by Sam, the most attractive - and infuriating - man Gracie’s ever met.

If it means getting the money she needs for her mother, Gracie’s in. Soon Gracie moves into a world of luxury she never knew existed. But resisting Sam, and playing the role of an elegant movie star, proves more difficult than she ever imagined - especially when she learns the real reason Fangli so desperately needs her help. In the end, all the lists in the world won’t be able to help Gracie keep up this elaborate ruse without losing herself...and her heart.

Sam isn't your generic male lead & Gracie "makes sense" even when she doesn't

Lovely

Die Geschichte ist nicht neu, aber sie ist gut erzählt. Ein schönes Buch für ein paar entspannte Stunden.

Eine schöne kurzweilige Geschichte

Really loved Philippa Soo narration but the problem for me was the main character. She kept on self sabotaging herself and I couldn't relate to her overthinking. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining listen!

Entertaining romcom

The story was really normal where you know how it will end from first few chapters itself but the performance of Phillipa Soo was awesome. She made each character stand out on their own and I loved listening to her. It's a really nice easy listen!

Loved it!

It's a great romcom.
Of course it's not War And Peace or Les Misérables level of deep, but it's not trying to be, and it doesn't have to.
I enjoyed this a lot and it made my super long car drive seem like the blink of an eye.

Also, the way the struggle of diasporic people was woven in was very well done. It's something I can relate to, though I'm not Chinese-Canadian.
Very touching, but not too heavy to bring down the story.

A great, mostly light book. Would absolutely recommend.

Great romcom!
