A reluctant bride and her two best friends plot to steal all the gift money from her glitzy high-society wedding in this dazzling, heartfelt, funny novel for fans of Crazy Rich Asians
"A glittering debut. Delightful." —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After
Bride-to-be Lulu is about to marry Shanghai's most eligible bachelor. She just has one secret: she isn't in love and is only marrying him under pressure to fix her family's financial issues. But for Lulu and her two best friends, her upcoming nuptials may offer a different opportunity entirely...
It will be the social event of the season, lavish and over the top, but the three women's focus will be on one thing: the red envelopes filled with cash gifts, stored in an elaborate safe at the center of the ballroom. More than enough money to solve all their problems and transform their lives.
Friends who steal together, stay together.
With the help of a mysterious luxury goods counterfeiter and a snarky getaway driver, the women forge a brilliant plan to lift all the red envelopes on the big day. But as their plot grows increasingly complicated and relationships are caught in the cross fire, they're forced to face that having it all might come at a steep price.
"Joyous, indulgent, immensely clever." —Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief

      Narrator Catherine Ho portrays three Shanghai friends who represent the struggles and limitations women face in contemporary Chinese society. Jane has always been told she's ugly and is stuck in a marriage to the one person who proposed to her, hardworking Rina is overlooked for promotions due to sexism and wants to freeze her eggs, and people-pleaser Lulu feels obligated to quit her job and marry the rich bachelor who has proposed. A successful heist of Lulu's wedding money could solve all their problems--if everything goes according to plan. Ho beautifully pronounces all the names and Chinese words peppered throughout the novel. A light voice for meek Lulu, shrill for sharp-tongued Jane, and monotone for stoic Rina show Ho's ability to match the right voice to each character. S.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
