An incisive and glittering blend of fashion, crime, and friendship, Counterfeit is the story of two Asian American women who band together to grow a counterfeit handbag scheme into a global enterprise . . .
Swift, surprising, and sharply comic, Counterfeit is a stylish and feminist caper with a strong point of view and an axe to grind. Peering behind the curtain of the upscale designer storefronts and the Chinese factories where luxury goods are produced, Chen interrogates the myth of the model minority through two unforgettable women determined to demand more from life.
"A con artist story, a pop-feminist caper, and a fashionable romp, Counterfeit is an entertaining, luxurious read, but beneath its glitz and flash, it is also a shrewd deconstruction of the American dream." -- New York Times Book Review
