From Our Book Lover-In-Chief
“This is the page turner to kick off your summer!"
“This is the page turner to kick off your summer! This month’s book pick, Counterfeit by @kirstin.chen, is like having a friend tell you the juiciest story. It follows Ava, a lawyer on maternity leave, who gets pulled into a fake handbag scheme by one of her best friends. As Ava and her friend Winnie build this business, Ava starts to ask—what do I really want, not what does everyone else want me to want. It’s non-stop, and every minute I was like “Oh my gosh, are they going to get caught?!” Pick up this perfect summer read and join us in conversation all month long at @ReesesBookClub.”
