When Rachel Chu accepts her boyfriend Nicholas Young's invitation to spend the summer in Singapore, she has images of a modest family home, leisurely island exploration drives, and quality time with the guy she may marry in the future. She is unaware that Nick's family home has the appearance of a palace, that she will go by private jet rather than by automobile, and that she will be carrying one of Asia's most attractive bachelors.
It would be as if Rachel had a target on her back. Rachel is thrust into a world of unimaginable dynastic splendor where she meets Astrid, the socialite of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically exists in the socialite magazines of Hong Kong; and Eleanor, Nick's formidable mother, who harbors strong opinions about the man her son should and should not marry.
A fantastic novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, insanely rich, Crazy Rich Asians is a thrilling, captivating, and lavishly lavish read. It also offers an insider's look at the Asian JetSet and a perfect portrayal of the conflict between old money and new money, as well as between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese.
