The founder of a skincare line teeters on career-defining success when a bullish journalist sets out to write her inaugural profile, threatening to unearth her darkest secret—that she's not the wealthy socialite she portrays, but an immigrant of modest means who built a life on someone else's name. Perfect for readers of White Ivy and Yellowface.

"A brilliant, thrilling ride…An engrossing story about ambition, wealth, identity, and the weight of secrets."

"Mansi Shah does it again with a powerful exploration on finding your true identity and how far one woman would go in order to climb to the top."

"An insightful, powerful, and deeply affecting novel that firmly establishes Shah as a major voice in contemporary fiction."

“With empathy and heart, Shah follows up A Good Indian Girl with this compelling examination of class and race in the business world from Shanghai to L.A. A great read-alike for Kirthana Ramisetti's Dava Shastri's Last Day or Kevin Kwan's Lies and Weddings.”
