Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians (soon to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan) and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia's greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance.
When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedsideâ??but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarchâ??s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Parkâ??a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singaporeâ??Nicholasâ??s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husbandâ??a man hell bent on destroying Astridâ??s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to Chinaâ??s second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing. A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kongâ??s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and… (mer)
I absolutely loved this trilogy! I didn’t want it to end! Kwan’s writing style is so refreshing and I love the added humor in his footnotes. I hope to see more books from him in the future. ( )
I really enjoy these crazy stories of the super rich families of Singapore. This wrapped up a lot of loose ends from the other books and was as filled with drama and over the top spending as all of the others.
I liked this one better than the middle book, but Rachel doesn't narrate much which was definitely missed. Overall I'm glad that I read the 3 books of the series, they are fun juicy craziness. ( )
