Ava and Winnie met in college. They reunite years later and start their conterfeit high end luxuery handbag business. I listened to this on aduible which I feel enhenced the story since Ava is telling the story as she is speaking to the dectective. Interesting story, nothing great, but a good solid and entertaining story.
I get why people loved this book but also why some hated it. I liked the interaction between Winnie and Ava. The kid really annoyed me... Why not teach him sign language? Also, didn't believe the financial troubles that Ava was in. If her husband is a liver transplant surgeon, they are making BANK- clearing $1mill or more per year especially for how long he's been working. Doesn't make sense.
3.75 stars, super fun and surprisingly… earnest? at times? but there’s so much trickery and daredevilishness. if you like heist movies you’ll enjoy this! i really enjoyed reading this while walking around boston
