Smoke: How a Small-Town Girl Accidentally Wound Up Smuggling 7,000 Pounds of Marijuana with the Pot Princess of Beverly Hills by Meili Cady (24-Mar-2015) Paperback Description Combining the excess of The Bling Ring with the intimacy of Blow, Smoke is the outrageous true story of an aspiring young actress' ill-fated friendship and unwitting alliance with a drug-smuggling con artist. 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' worth of pot into the Midwest.
