THE OFFICIAL MOVIE TIE-IN EDITION: Soon to be a major motion picture from Warner Brothers, the funny, juicy first novel in the bestselling Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, in which the heir to one of the most massive fortunes in Asia brings his ABC (American-born Chinese) girlfriend home to meet the family ... without telling her that they're loaded. When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she might one day marry. What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia's most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider's look at the Asian jet set; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.

Highly entertaining, atmospheric, and ridiculous. Can't wait for the movie in August.
I enjoy fiction that lets you take a peak into foreign cultures, but this picture of Singapore elite seems very fake. The characters are all very black and white, clearly divided into good and evil, it almost seems like a children's book. And the plot is all too predictable.
The characters are disgusting people, rich people who would probably spit on a homeless person if they saw one. Racist, sexist, homophobic characters that were supposed to like? Nooooo
but the story is very addicting and I can't wait to read the second book lol
