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.  0aRich peoplevFiction.  0aSocial classesvFiction.  0aImpersonationvFiction. 0aSingaporexSocial life and customsvFiction. 7aRomance fiction.2lcgft  7aHumorous fiction.2lcgft
