- ReviewsAdvance praise for China Rich Girlfriend: "When you're on a never-ending long-haul flight: China Rich Girlfriend , Kevin Kwan's frothy sequel to his debut novel, Crazy Rich Asians , revisits the world of Hong Kong's and Singapore's super-super-elite. Kwan himself is from Singapore, and these sharply observed books have an insider's authority. Girlfriend is also so diverting that it (almost) made me forget that my seatmate on a recent flight from New York to Dubai was muttering to himself nonstop." -Hanya Yanagihara, Conde Nast Traveler "Lifestyles of the rich and famous, China-style. A follow to Kwan's lively debut, Crazy Rich Asians, this new book delivers more over-the-top consumption in Asia's most exclusive locale." - The Houston Chronicle "Kevin Kwan has a new book coming out soon. It's called China Rich Girlfriend, and if you don't know why this is shriek-worthy news, allow me to introduce you to Kwan's first novel, Crazy Rich Asians , [a] gloriously, irreverently fun and dishy novel." -Roxane Gay, NPR "What happens when the young woman destined to marry Asia's most eligible bachelor gets derailed by a shocking family secret? That's what Kwan ( Crazy Rich Asians ) examines in this amusing, whirlwind novel about Rachel Chu, who discovers her long-lost father and falls headlong into a Shanghai -- the fashion! the social climbing! the secrets! -- wilder than her wildest dreams." -- The Miami Herald "I loved China Rich Girlfriend ... Like Gossip Girl and Dynasty and the royal family of England all at the same time. Kwan's characters behave hideously--and it's hilarious." --Elaine Lui, Flare "Kwan's latest follows in the footsteps of his wildly imaginative Crazy Rich Asians but adds even more conspicuous consumption and over-the-top behavior... Resplendent with gorgeous description .... The dialog is always top-notch. There are many fascinating substories... A sprinkling of footnotes adds local expressions, insightful asides, and Kwan's own snarky personal comments. Among the many laugh-out-loud incidents are examples of the extreme cheapness of some of these ultrawealthy people and tidbits about their staff... The conclusion offers up additional shocks and surprises that will have readers clamoring for more. Those who enjoy splendid writing and getting a glimpse at how the other half (probably much less than 50 percent) lives will delight in this book." -- Library Journal (Starred Review) "Very enjoyable... Just as funny as Crazy Rich Asians, this globe-spanning tale of excess includes enough snootiness and class snobbery to fill a multitude of designer handbags. It's a modern-day comedy of manners that highlights what it means to be 'China rich' as well as the things that money can never buy." - Minneapolis Star Tribune "Singapore-based sensation Kevin Kwan follows up his smash success, Crazy Rich Asians, which is currently being made into a film, with another sure-to-be hit. As with his first novel, Kwan takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the lives--and nuptial preparations--of absurdly wealthy society folks in mainland China." -- Readers Digest (Canada), Advance praise for China Rich Girlfriend: "What happens when the young woman destined to marry Asia's most eligible bachelor gets derailed by a shocking family secret?

- SynopsisKevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians , is back with a wickedly funny new novel of social climbing, secret e-mails, art-world scandal, lovesick billionaires, and the outrageous story of what happens when Rachel Chu, engaged to marry Asia's most eligible bachelor, discovers her birthfather. On the eve of her wedding to Nicholas Young, heir to one of the greatest fortunes in Asia, Rachel should be over the moon. She has a flawless Asscher-cut diamond from JAR, a wedding dress she loves more than anything found in the salons of Paris, and a fiance willing to sacrifice his entire inheritance in order to marry her. But Rachel still mourns the fact that her birthfather, a man she never knew, won't be able to walk her down the aisle. Until: a shocking revelation draws Rachel into a world of Shanghai splendor beyond anything she has ever imagined. Here we meet Carlton, a Ferrari-crashing bad boy known for Prince Harry-like antics; Colette, a celebrity girlfriend chased by fevered paparazzi; and the man Rachel has spent her entire life waiting to meet: her father. Meanwhile, Singapore's It Girl, Astrid Leong, is shocked to discover that there is a downside to having a newly minted tech billionaire husband. A romp through Asia's most exclusive clubs, auction houses, and estates, China Rich Girlfriend brings us into the elite circles of Mainland China, introducing a captivating cast of characters, and offering an inside glimpse at what it's like to be gloriously, crazily, China-rich., Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians , is back with a wickedly funny new novel of social climbing, secret e-mails, art-world scandal, lovesick billionaires, and the outrageous story of what happens when Rachel Chu, engaged to marry Asia's most eligible bachelor, discovers her birthfather.
