Counterfeit is a fast paced story of Ava Wong, a former lawyer turned stay at home mom, who becomes wrapped up in the world of selling counterfeit high end handbags. 

Ava’s son is difficult, her marriage is rocky, and she needs to make some money for speech therapy for her son. Conveniently, a friend from her past reenters her life and quickly sucks her in to the counterfeit world. 

Told in interviews with the police, the story will keep you reading as you cannot wait to find resolution. 

What I love about this book is that it delivers that tension and desire to keep reading with virtually no content warnings. This is the perfect book when you don’t want to be stressed but you want a fast paced read.
