Books meet Broadway in Lily Chu‘s latest summer read listen.
Chu’s Rich Girl Summer is exclusively on Audible with dual-narration from actors and real-life husband and wife Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale. Available for listening now, the sizzling summer story is the no. 1 new release in Multicultural Romance on Amazon, and joins a larger collection of Lily Chu’s Audible Original audiobooks (and physical books).
Soo, best known for her performance in the Broadway musical Hamilton (and Disney+ live stage recording), takes on the role of Valerie Peng, an event planner who agrees to pose as her wealthy client’s long-lost daughter to help him unearth an old family secret. In the process, Peng finds herself romantically entangled with her client’s (wildly handsome) right-hand man, Nico Hever, narrated by Pasquale. Rich Girl Summer marks Soo’s fifth time narrating a Lily Chu Audible Original.
Plus, right now, Audible is running its best promotion of the year, allowing new customers to listen to Rich Girl Summer at no cost.

The subscription includes access to thousands of best-selling audiobook titles, podcasts and Audible Originals.
