Combining the excess of The Bling Ring with the intimacy of Blow and the charm of Catch Me If You Can, an outrageous, entertaining and true story of an aspiring young actress’ ill-fated friendship and unwitting alliance with a drug smuggling “heiress.”
Aspiring actress Meili Cady left small-town Washington State for the glamorous lure of Los Angeles. Young and alone, she was struggling to make her big break. Then she met Lisette Lee. Calling herself the “Korean Paris Hilton,” Lisette claimed she was a model and a Korean pop star, lived in a $1.2 million dollar apartment in West Hollywood, owned a fleet of luxury cars, and flitted from one red-carpet event to the next.
The connection was instant. Meili was enchanted by her friend’s extravagant lifestyle, while Lee claimed Meili was the real thing in a town full of phonies. Soon, the financially strapped Meili became her friend’s personal assistant—and found herself sucked into an audacious criminal enterprise. But when Meili finally realized what she was a part of it was too late—she was in too deep, caught in a terrifying relationship with a manipulative and abrasive con artist smuggling millions of dollars of pot into the Midwest.
Trapped in a precarious criminal world of money, drugs, and dangerous secrets, Meili struggled to understand the line between truth and lie. A once naive girl who fell down the rabbit hole, she could only watch helplessly as it all came crashing down around her. Smoke is her story—an electrifying tale of vice, corruption, hubris, and lost innocence as shocking and entertaining as The Wolf of Wall Street and Bringing Down the House.

By JaneAhloma Has the writer penned this tale to save her skin?In parts it reads with complete lack of honesty, gullibility that makes you cringe and stupidity you never wants to empathize with.However, an interesting romp through the tale of drug smuggling by a celebrity fantasist.Made me feel like taking a shower after I read it.

By Tara Leigh To be completely honest, I was skeptical about this book because of the comparisons made between it and Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman; I'm not a fan of that book for several reasons, one of which is the fact that Piper Kerman (by her own admission) is a little too high on the WASP scale for me and I don't find her very relatable. I love the Netflix series by the same title, but it's much different than the book and the supporting characters are what make the show, not Piper. I wanted to read Smoke in advance of the author's appearance at the 2015 Arkansas Literary Festival, to determine whether I'd want to attend her speaking engagement.I found myself immediately drawn in to Meili's story and, while I was often skeptical about some of the details, I couldn't stop wondering how her involvement with her L.A. "friend," Lisette, would come to a close. What I truly appreciate about Meili's story is the fact that she never attempts to diminish her involvement in the operation, nor does she try to hide the moment when she began to realize the magnitude of the crime. What skeptical readers must realize is that Meili, like I have done myself, was seeking acceptance in an intimidating environment and it allowed for a sort of mental suspension of disbelief; readers may perceive Lisette's tales as fantastical, but to a inexperienced young woman in need of support, her narrative was acceptable.Meili Cady was recently interviewed by a Los Angeles news affiliate and was asked that tough question, "Why?" Her response was succinct, yet protectively vague, and I found myself thinking about the unwise decisions I've made in my own life and why it is that those who are open about their mistakes are persecuted while others are allowed to mask theirs from public view. I respect Meili for sharing her experience and, as she mentioned once in her blog, "we are welcome to decide to be unhappy or look at the darker side of things, but at the same time we are just as welcome to embrace something better; to strive to make ourselves better and happier, and more able to give something back to the world."

I love Orange is the New Black and this is nowhere near it. Smoke is a story about what a person did to end up arrested. It is not a story about inside a woman's prison. The story and the characters are simplistic. Even, when the main character keeps reiterating how naive she is, it stretches one's credulity. This young woman, Meili, moves to California to follow her dream of acting. She has friends who just seem to pop into her life, the book giving no description of how they met. Then, she meets this Lissette character who seems, almost from the start, to have personality difficulties, but our girl stays with her - why, you may ask? Well, she has lots of money - might be an answer. They vow friendship with each other that is unlike any friendship I have had. You ask yourself, 'Are they gay, perhaps?' Or, maybe our heroine knows more than she lets on, and they are making a good living as partners in crime? Anyway, our little Meili, in the book, appears as a sort of groupie to this other women.Something that I also find unbelievable is why, when asked to flow money through her bank account, Meili does not just refuse. You see, 'normal' friends do that sort of thing. We all have barriers. Then, there is the time when she sees all that cash in luggage that they are moving - why didn't she just walk out? I would have gone to the cops with no problem at all. I would have realized I was being used and that the operation might not have been legal and asked the authorities to investigate. That Meili tolerated all of this makes you wonder at her upbringing.Maybe her acting training helped her to lose her interface with reality and lose the concept of what a solid and healthy friendship feels like. The book, to me, gives no good reason why she stuck with the drug smuggler other than she was getting money from it. At least her boyfriend, at the end, wanted no part of a felon, and I don't blame him.This is a quick book to get through and might be entertaining for beach or airplane reading. It in no way inspires thought and gives little insight to why a 'good' person goes bad. I probably would not have bought it, had I known what it was like.
