The Stand-In

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I think the narrator did such a good job bring each of the characters to life. I was immediately sucked in to this book because of the main character, Gracie, who is essentially a list and productivity enthusiast.

The idea of having someone stand in for a famous actress for their events is hilarious, however there were a few things that I feel were completely overlooked in the book. The main thing was that Gracie and Sam started galivanting all over without ever get caught. This seemed problematic considering the entire premise of the book started because she was mistaken for Fangli without trying.

The other odd thing was when Mei ousted Fangli because she was jealous of Gracie and Sam's relationship. This didn't turn into anything which seemed a little odd despite them trying to explain it by buying off the media. IRL I feel like this story still would have turned into something even if it was small
