Smoke audiobook

I thought this book was a hoot. I kept doubting it's reality...it felt like a summertime beach read. I feel almost guilty being entertained by someone's tragedy - although it seems the author has a light-hearted view of the whole situation. For me, this was an airport pick, and I couldn't put it down. Light, entertaining, jaw-dropping crazy on occasion. I was curious enough to Google the whole incident afterwards and look at the author's blog...haha!

I thought this was a really good book, didn’t want to stop reading it. All around great book.

Nice try, Meili Cady. This book is completely unbelievable solely from the standpoint that a regular girl from Washington could meet a new, filthy rich friend and actually believe she's a Samsung heiress. The idea that she would have let her snotty "friend" employ her then treat her like crap is equally unbelievable.It's a fabulous story but I'm not buying the "I was so naive" shtick at all.

This book was pretty good. I really can’t believe all the lies Meili believed and what she went through. Situations can blind you sometimes though. So curious what these “best friends” are up to now and if they’ll ever talk again!

This is a really interesting story. My only problem is that the author is really naive and spineless

Overall, this book is an incredibly easy and fun read. I was captivated by the author and main character's, Meili, overly naive personality and gullibility specifically in regards to her best friend, Lisette, the self-proclaimed Samsung heiress and Pot Princess of Beverly Hills. Meili and Lisette's relationship is abusive at best. However, with that said, I really wanted to know more about Lisette's lies and deception to Meili and the rest of Team LL. Meili fell for Lisette's lies and stories hook, line, and sinker and it would have been nice to know Meili's reactions when she discovered the horrible deceptions perpetrated by her supposed "best friend". After finishing the book I took a look at Meili's blog (housearrestgirl.com) that she wrote during her year of house arrest and found it to be fairly interesting also.

I was fascinated by this story. Throughout this book, I couldn't tell if Cady was truly naive and as stupid as she makes herself out to be or if she was faking it so as to make herself look better to her family and friends and the U.S. government. While she admitted to knowing that she was a drug smuggler, she downplayed her involvement by saying that she didn't realize exactly what she was doing for a long time and didn't realize many other things that seemed glaringly obviously--at least to me. Regardless of whether you believe she was innocent for the most part (duped and manipulated by Lissette, who she believed was her best friend) or whether she is far savvier than she presents herself, you will be fascinated with her story. This book is well written and quite compelling.

This book was extremely hard to put down. While the content was unbelievable, you just had to know what was going to happen. This book made you want to look everything up to make sure it was in deed a work of facts. I would most definitely recommend this read to anyone. Congrats to Meili on such a fantastic book!

Love the book!This is a free advice to young girls that want to become famous and engage themselves in dangerous situations with the wrong people. Meili was saved thanks to the love and support of her family.

A captivating read. At times hard to believe but reading the news articles regarding the case affirms everything Meili writes about in this book.

Loved this book! Thought it was an interesting story. I read this book extremely fast!

Such an impelling story once you get into it.
