itle: China Rich GirlfriendAuthor: Kevin Kwan
Genre: Fiction
Other books I've read by this author: Crazy Rich Asians
Synopsis: Rachel Chu and Nick Young are finally getting married! Nick's mother finds Rachel's mystery father in order to make amends and the newlyweds decide to honeymoon in China to get to know Rachel's new family. Little do they know the whirlwind they are about to be sucked into when they meet Rachel's half-brother Carlton and his famous girlfriend Collette.
My Thoughts
This book may even be better than the first in the series. While this book is totally great for a fun summer read on the porch or at the beach it is not because it is pure fluff. The characters have depth and there are several interwoven storylines featuring favorite characters from the first novel and a few new characters to love.
I am also intrigued by the way Kwan uses several methods by which to communicate with the reader. The majority of the novel is written from a third person perspective but there are also potions written as newspapers/magazines, Rachel Chu's diary, and my personal favorite, a very specific list from Kitty Pong's agent on how she can improve her image. The footnotes add context and humor that makes this series unique. This author understands the subtleties of human interactions and conveys them to the reader effortlessly.
If you are looking for a summer read that is smart, funny, and keeps you engaged this is a book for you!
