About this listen
Dee Kwan’s secrets for a happy life:
- Always remain positive, no matter the cost
- Realize that every setback is a hidden opportunity
- Accept compliments graciously, especially when given by mega-hot rivals
- Never, ever question whether any of these mantras actually work
For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)
Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end at work, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for the intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot nemesis works there, too...and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.
Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: He’s the heir to the CEO, and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place—for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard—including his father—intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she’s ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she’s willing to do to truly make a difference.

Excellent and topical
This is the third story by Lily Chu that I’ve listened to and by far my favourite. I love her writing style and I love that she addresses current issues of concern that should be relevant across all generations and gender, and in a manner that engages the mind to raise awareness.

So good!
Lily Chu is such a good writer! I always enjoy the plots. This book is a stand out. As human being with a vastly diverse genetic background but very much white passing I found this story about inequity very easy to access and understand.

A great summer story 
The story will immediately get you hooked in fabulous descriptions of the characters make them become so alive and you are intrigued to toll very last chapter. The storyline is multifaceted with some interesting character development and plot twists along the way. Thoroughly enjoyable is a really lovely ending.

Great book
I’ve never read a Lily Chu book I haven’t like and this was my favourite. The narrator does a great job at making you feel the characters emotions
