China Rich Girlfriend * Kevin Kwan * Crazy Rich Asians #2

On the eve of her wedding to Nicholas Young, Rachel Chu wishes the birth father she never knew could walk her down the aisle until a chance accident reveals his identity and draws her into the dazzling, ultra-wealthy circles of Shanghai.

The Story. Written by Singapore-born American novelist Kevin Kwan, this continues the lively satirical adventures of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy. With a Parisian wedding dress and Nick's steadfast devotion, Rachel should be carefree, yet meeting her long-lost father, Bao Gaoling, introduces her to a whole new level of extravagance in Mainland China. Alongside her reckless half-brother Carlton and his glamorous girlfriend Colette, Rachel navigates penthouse chapels, private art auctions, and hidden family agendas, while Singapore style icon Astrid Leong faces unexpected bumps in her marriage.

Perfect For. Book clubs, beach-read fans, and readers who love witty, lavish romantic comedies and family drama alongside Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians, Rich People Problems, Sex and Vanity, and Lies and Weddings, Jesse Q. Sutanto's Dial A for Aunties, Lauren Weisberger's Revenge Wears Prada, or Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence.
