Rich People Problems
By Kevin Kwan
The third and final novel in the "rich Asians" series by Kevin Kwan. This book can actually be read without reading the other two books first. This final novel in the trilogy wasn't published for a couple of years after the second novel, so I had forgotten what happened in the first two novels, so reading it as a stand-along worked. However, if you could read them in a sequence, then that would work best.
This novel once again follows the life of the ultra-rich in Asia, people from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia. The family in the story has many branches, with members from all these different cultures. Their lives are ridiculous, and this novel actually includes having plastic surgery on a fish (which you can apparently actually do). The cars, the houses, the life styles, the fashion, she shoes, the designers, the chefs, the planes, all seemingly unbelievable to the average person.
A movie is being made of the first novel.
Chic lit at it's best. Surreal, but all based on truth.
Rating: 4/5
Recommendation: Sure.
