![]() ![]() Waiting in the wings to pounce are his manipulative Tiger Mother, his glam-girl not-girlfriend, and – of course – the parasitic paparazzi. The newlyweds will have to work hard get to know the long-lost relatives, including China’s bad-boy with an-anguished-heart-of-gold (or should that be ‘ antimatter‘? – at $100 trillion per gram, gold is comparatively cheap and tacky!). ![]() ![]() Raised by a single mother in a northern California suburb, Rachel doesn’t even register on the Youngs’ exclusive radar … until Nick’s estranged mother deduces a family secret that Rachel nor her mother could ever have imagined. In spite of the possible loss of his elite social status (what even billions can never buy), Nick Young marries his beloved Rachel Chu anyway. Let the jaw-dropping, eye-rolling, name-dropping resume… You’ll want Rachel and Nick’s backstory for maximum in-the-know enjoyment. If you haven’t yet relished Kwan’s debut, Crazy Rich Asians, stop here and catch up. Summer is waning way too quickly, but you still have a final week left to indulge in frothy reads: the over-the-top excesses of Singaporean Manhattanite Kevin Kwan’s novels might be just what you’ve been looking for as Labor Day looms. ![]()
