Summary
Crazy Rich Asians meets The Devil Wears Prada, with a dash of Gossip Girl, in this dazzling debut novel.
Samantha Song has always dreamed of having her own by-line in a high-society magazine. But the death of her father and the constant struggle to help her mum make ends meet make it feel like a distant fantasy. Instead, she works at a drab PR firm and lives vicariously through her socialite co-worker Anya Chen.
Then she meets Timothy Kingston: the disillusioned son of one of Singapore's elite families, and Sam's one chance at infiltrating the world to which she so desperately wants to belong. To Sam's surprise, Tim and Anya both agree to help her make a name for herself, but the borrowed designer clothes and plus-ones to every party and major event can only get her so far; the rest is on Sam.
The deeper she goes though, the more she fears being exposed. And with an anonymous reporter on the prowl for high-society gossip, Sam must scramble to reconcile her pretence with who she really is before she loses it all.
Packed full of glitz and glamour, food and fashion and heaps of heart, The Fraud Squad is perfect for fans of Kevin Kwan and Lauren Ho.

A fun & romantic look into the socialite life
The book was very engaging and was exactly what I needed. It deftly discussed heavy topics such as loss, poverty and social pressure, whilst carrying a light and romantic feel. The focus on various relationships and their impact was a really nice touch. Overall I enjoyed listening to this book.

An enjoyable page turner
Enjoyed the story line and the realistic overtures of the life in Singapore. The book transports you to another world; pure magic. With each chapter, it made you want to continue to read it all in one go. Brilliant story line, wonderfully written and engaging narration. A definite go to book to take on holiday.
