Rich Girl Summer

De: Lily Chu

Narrado por: Phillipa Soo, Steven Pasquale

Fake heiress. Real secrets. One sizzling summer she’ll never forget.

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.

But Cinderella needs some magic for this big of a makeover. Enter Nico Hever: her client’s maddeningly perfect right-hand man. He’s organized, meticulous, impossible to read, and infuriatingly handsome. But even though he claims this scheme is a capital-M Mistake, Nico’s the only person she can trust to have her back. As they navigate a world of eccentric matriarchs, class divides, and private family feuds, their chemistry is as undeniable as it is ill-timed.

Caught between pretending to belong and unexpectedly finding where she truly fits in, Valerie’s summer is about to get far more complicated than she ever planned.

😍 Lily Chu does it again! ❤️

Another sexy man and another fabulous story from Lily Chu! This time Phillipa Soo brings her real life hubby (Steven Pasquale) in to narrate opposite her in this swoony rom-com and I loved all of it.

I laughed out loud so many times while listening and the take on the “one bed at the inn” trope had me dead. So great. One of my favorite parts of the book, hands down.

As always with Chu, the characters are fully fleshed out- with flaws and actual feelings which helps you feel connected to them. (And want to throttle the ones who wrong them.) It was sad saying goodbye to them at the end of the book.

The time flew by. You will love this book, absolutely worth the listen!

The story was original and the male main character is a green flag. Generally enjoyable.

I love the cheesy jokes. :-)

The second hand embarrassment at the beginning was quite painful, but the rest of the story was just wonderful. I loved the humor and the puns and the character building. It's definitely one I could listen to again and laugh out loud even a second time.

Not your typical rom summer book

I went into this book thinking it would be like another typical, topical romance novels. But it wasn’t. I started reading it before bed and had it stuck in my head the whole next day. It had some really great themes and had one of the best performances that I’ve heard on audible. I super duper recommend this book.

Valerie and Nico and Roger and Penny

great summer listen to make jam to. I love Valerie and that eventually she finds her voice.

creative and sweet story

Some second hand embarrassment to get through at the beginning, but totally worth it for this sweet story with lovable characters with realistic foibles that they work through together and become stronger.

DNF narration is boring.

I struggled to get in to this book and quit after the first couple hours, the narration put me to sleep, there is a big difference in acting the book and reading it, and it was definitely being read with minimal inflection or emotion.

Good, lovely joyful read

I caught myself smiling through most of the story. I was surprised at the end and happy about it. And I appreciate the blog. It even made me think about my current relationship relationships, and how I interact with people.

Another perfect Lily Chu story!!

Absolutely loved Valerie’s and Niko!

Nope rope destroyed me!

Also subtle nods to hear other books was fantastic! I love an Easter egg❤️

loved it!

just perfect for a cool, relaxing, engaging summer read. romance, secrets, diversity, family drama. fun story to listen to.
