About this listen
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.

Cute story. Easy to listen too
Enjoyable. An unrealistic, feel good story to get lost in that will leave you smiling.

An enjoyable book
This was a fun and lighthearted book. I would like to say more but don’t want to give anything away. I would recommend it.

Really enjoyed this book.
This is not the normal type of book I go for, but I end up really enjoying it.
Even though it is not a self-help book, don't be surprised if you find some inspirational parts.
For me the part when Sam tells her "there are enough people in the world ready to put you down, do you need to join them" hit home.

Amazing narration
Fun story, great easy listen. Stand out is the narration, one of the best narrators I have listened to. Such a joy to listen to. I hope Phillipa Soo records more audio books in the future.

Easy listening
Nice story. Narrator spoke too fast at times, so this one wouldn't be suitable for someon who has English as a second language.

Enjoyable
Surprisingly enjoyable for me, as I don’t normally go for chick lit. A lot of the enjoyment came down to the superb narration by Phillipa Soo - a lovely, warm and engaging voice, perfect for this book.
