Rich Girl Summer
Listen
Event planner Valerie Peng never planned on spending her summer sipping champagne at a lakefront estate, dodging suspicious socialites, or pretending to be anyone’s long-lost daughter. But when a very public, deeply mortifying mishap lands her in hot water—and her career in a hot mess—her uber-wealthy older client makes her an offer she can’t refuse: come to his glamorous summer home and pose as the long-lost daughter he believes his conniving family has hidden from him. In exchange? Time away from her actual life ... and the chance to help uncover a long-buried secret. Lily Chu’s best-selling stories are critically acclaimed and have spent multiple weeks at number one in Audible Top Plus Listens, and have been named in Best of the Year lists. She’s known for her romantic comedies set in Toronto with strong Asian characters. Her books have been recommended in the NY Times. Lily has dual BA’s in Architecture from MIT and East Asian Studies from Wellesley College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
