About this listen
Dee Kwan’s secrets for a happy life:
- Always remain positive, no matter the cost
- Realize that every setback is a hidden opportunity
- Accept compliments graciously, especially when given by mega-hot rivals
- Never, ever question whether any of these mantras actually work
For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)
Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end at work, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for the intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot nemesis works there, too...and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.
Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: He’s the heir to the CEO, and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place—for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard—including his father—intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she’s ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she’s willing to do to truly make a difference.

The narrator can't pronounce French for toffee, please someone get her a coach before she tackles this again. Also Parisian should never rhyme with friesian, a French coach could help with that too (hint it's the Anglicised spelling of Parisienne and pronounced pretty much the same)
