Publisher's summary

A reluctant bride and her two best friends plot to steal all the gift money from her glitzy high-society wedding in this dazzling, heartfelt, funny novel for fans of Crazy Rich Asians

“A glittering debut. Delightful.” —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

Bride-to-be Lulu is about to marry Shanghai’s most eligible bachelor. She just has one secret: she isn't in love and is only marrying him under pressure to fix her family’s financial issues. But for Lulu and her two best friends, her upcoming nuptials may offer a different opportunity entirely…

It will be the social event of the season, lavish and over the top, but the three women’s focus will be on one thing: the red envelopes filled with cash gifts, stored in an elaborate safe at the center of the ballroom. More than enough money to solve all their problems and transform their lives.

Friends who steal together, stay together.

With the help of a mysterious luxury goods counterfeiter and a snarky getaway driver, the women forge a brilliant plan to lift all the red envelopes on the big day. But as their plot grows increasingly complicated and relationships are caught in the cross fire, they're forced to face that having it all might come at a steep price.

“Joyous, indulgent, immensely clever.” —Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief

Strong Friendship Bonds

A good and clever story about three friends in Shanghai that strikes up a plan to heist red envelopes from Lulu (one of the three friends) wedding.

The story actually makes me sad. The pressure and demands that each friend faces everyday in Shanghai is sad. Even for the guys, like Harv and Vic. I love that the three ladies, and Harv & Vic, have strong friendship bonds to help and support each other when family lets you down or isn't an option.

Give it a try! It's a good debut and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Engaging and fun!

This was a fun listen! I enjoyed the story line and characters. It was engaging and I was eager to figure out… could they pull this off?!

It was ok

This book didn’t engage me like I’d hoped.
My biggest takeaway, is that I was given insight into what it is like to be a woman in China.

Such a cute story

I love this book that focuses on friendship. Can’t recommend it enough. I listened to it in two days. 10/10!
