Ava is a lawyer who has recently had a baby and she’s reconnected with her old college roommate Winnie. When Ava decides to visit China with her son, her husband cancels her credit cards without letting her know. She’s stranded in China with no money at all. Ava calls Winnie, who asks her to check some merchandise (counterfeit designer handbags) and she’ll pay her a lot of money. Ava decides to help out Winnie this once, but wants to quit straight away. However, Winnie has other ideas. Ava is manipulated again and again by Winnie…
The book is well written and I really liked the storyline. Even though Ava is manipulated, she also is an intelligent woman who likes having spending money she doesn’t have to ask her husband for. Understandable of course, women do not like to be belittled by their life partners.
