Counterfeit

Now THIS was a great reading experience. I needed a good listen for my drive home from Bookmarks NC and queued up this one on a whim. (I had been listening to a broody literary novel but it was NOT the right vibe for a sleepy solo drive!) By the time I got to Louisville, I was DONE—and the journey was fabulous. On the surface this almost has a heist kind of vibe. The clever structure elevates the story, but what really wowed me was the initially surreptitious and then all at once interrogation of the American Dream. I relished the details of the fashion industry and handbags in particular. This was good, smart fun that made the miles fly by.
