Women of Good Fortune

A reluctant bride and her two best friends plot to steal all the gift money from her high-society wedding in this funny, dazzling, heartfelt novel for fans of Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean's 8

Bride-to-be Lulu is about to marry into one of Shanghai’s most prominent families. She just has one secret: she doesn’t love her fiancé and is only marrying him to solve her family’s financial woes. But for Lulu and her two best friends, her upcoming nuptials may offer a different opportunity entirely…

It will be the social event of the season, lavish and over the top, but the three women’s focus will be on one thing: the red envelopes filled with cash gifts, stored in an elaborate safe at the center of the ballroom. More than enough money to transform the women’s lives and solve all their problems.

Friends who steal together, stay together.

With the help of a mysterious luxury counterfeiter and a snarky getaway driver, they forge a brilliant plan to lift all the red envelopes on the big day. But as their plot grows increasingly complicated and relationships are caught in the cross fire, the women are forced to face that having it all might come at a steep price.
