Nickie: Did you read or watch Crazy Rich Asians? Well this is the second book in the trilogy.

It is the eve of Rachel and Nick's wedding and Rachel should be over the moon but she mourns the fact that her birth father, a man she never knew, won't be there to walk her down the aisle.

Kevin Kwan brings us another insight into the ultra rich in Asian society. I love the characters in this book and whilst I really enjoyed reading (or listening to it to be more accurate) it just lacked some clarity in certain moments.

I was looking forward to reading this after reading Sex and Vanity as it had the characters I love but it seems outrageous in the wrong ways in parts. Still an enjoyable light read but not a patch on the 1st book in the trilogy.

Yesha (Books Teacup and Reviews): This was amazing final book in Crazy Rich Asians trilogy that revolved around drama among three generations of three big family branches of one crazy rich asian family over disposition of vast estate now that the matriarch of the family was on deathbed. The story was about family drama, family secrets, inheritance, social acceptance, parental pressure, insecurity, jealousy, friendship, love, and super crazy rich lifestyle.

Writing was totally gripping, vivid, painstakingly detailed (something I should have mentioned in previous books) and this time it was more entertaining.

I wasn’t wrong with most of the things I guessed this book would have and yet it was a whirlwind of surprises with some crazy and some horrid dramas that made this 500+ long book a fast read compared to its predecessors.

We see all characters back in this book. They all had good role. Even the smallest character had a little story that wasn’t told before. And it was great to meet new characters.

Astrid really shone through this book. Grandma Su Yi stole the show. Best part of the book was history of Grandma’s life and Tyrsall Park. Some scenes were insightful and...

Hisham: This follow-up to Crazy Rich Asians continues the story of Rachel and Nick - but also follows Astrid on a seperate plotline as well as Kitty Pong on yet another.

The extravaganza moves to focus on the wealthy elite of China as Rachel meets her long lost family - and experiences a whole new spin on the rivalries of the rich and famous.

I devoured this book a lot faster than the first book, probably because there is no movie (yet) for me to constantly conpare it to.

One thing I noticed is that whilst this book retains the abundance of handy footnotes that were a staple of book 1 - they have switched from numbers to symbols in the main text and moved the footnotes from the end of the book to the end of each chapter. (This may just be a publisher difference) I preffered the number system as it was more noticable for me when my eyes were tired.

Good book though, an excellent holiday read. (Not that anyone should be going on holiday at the moment.)

Sabrina: This is the second installment in Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians series. And as far as second books goes, this one wasn't too bad. Kevin Kwan retains the two things that made the first book, Crazy Rich Asians, so popular: drama and extravagance.

Based on the blurb, you can deduce that this book will be based on Rachel and meeting her birthfather. That is true, but I felt that the book primarily follow the storyline of those surrounding Nick and Rachel in China with the exception of Astrid. Nick and Rachel are technically still considered the main characters but I didn't get enough of their POVs.

China Rich Girlfriend takes place two years (I believe) after Crazy Rich Asians and is based in mainland China and other surrounding areas opposed to Singapore like the first book and really shows/emphasizes the difference in cultural. Though the location changes, we got to keep Nick, Rachel, and Astrid as main characters. The family was still there and we still got small POVs from them but overall we got a group of supporting characters such as Kitty Pong and Colette.

I love Astrid's story arc, she's definitely one of my favorite characters that didn't change too...

choco_truffle227: I really enjoyed the first book, and was eagerly awaiting this new book. I am happy to say that I really enjoyed the second book as well, and it was satisfying on all levels.

Yes, this new book is very similar to the first book - the shocking luxuries and privileges of the ultra rich forming the background of a gossipy soap opera. But we have new characters who come from a very different place to change things up a little. The China ultra rich are a completely different breed than the old rich of the overseas Chinese. They are more ostentatious, yet more practical. Why stop at a tiny private jet when you can have a 747 with a koi pond? Yes, it's fine to pay millions for a clock, but instant ramen in the hotel room is superior to expensive Chinese food in the hotel restaurant. Having heard of the red princes and princesses who blend into the American college campuses, one can only imagine what their secret lives are actually like.

Rachel and Nicholas were boring vanilla characters in the first book, a perfect blank canvas to showcase the colorful personalities of the other characters. Nicholas has stayed vanilla in this book, but Rachel seems to have matured and...
