Crazy Rich Asians

Hilarious, addictive, and overflowing with opulence, this novel is an indiscreet and quite crazy look into the world of the Asian super-rich.

When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she imagines a humble family home and alone time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has forgotten to provide certain details to his girlfriend. First, that the house he grew up in looks like a palace; second, that he is more accustomed to traveling in private jets than by car; third, that, apparently, he is the country's most coveted bachelor.

And, as soon as she lands on his arm, Rachel realizes that in this world of unimaginable wealth, her vacation has just turned into a delirious obstacle course.
