A hilarious and heartwarming New York Times best-selling novel - the basis for the acclaimed major motion picture!

"There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich.... A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up about an heir bringing his Chinese-American girlfriend home to meet his ancestor-obsessed family.” (People)

When New Yorker 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 hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor.

On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

This is one of the funniest and most tragic series I've read. It makes you wonder if an extreme excess of money makes everyone crazy. Guess I'll never know...

Crazy romp with crazies

After hearing about the movie from lots of friends I decided to start reading the book instead. Half way through the book I did watch the film because I was interested in seeing how different it would be compared. Yes, the book is more detailed than the movie and yes the book takes longer to get to the same point ( kind of) but there are points in the film I wish were in the book and vice-versa.

It is a good read for a beach day or a good audiobook for a long car ride but it doesn’t really stay with as a really good book should.

The was better than the movie.

From the beginning this audiobook had me hooked. The performance was outstanding and I easily got dragged into the world of these crazy rich Asians! Perfect for a road trip.

Week after week, I kept seeing this movie showcased On Demand. As a voracious reader, I always like to read the book before seeing the movie. I'm beyond happy that I made the choice to read the book. I loved following the story of Rachel Chu, Nick Young and Astrid Young as they navigate their families, upcoming marriages and other relationships. I appreciated how the different segments of the story focused on the different protagonists, while also introducing us to other characters that influenced the story. It's also a cultural experience, as I learned about cultural norms, wealth, and the livelihoods in Chinese countries. The story is chockfull of villains, although not in the traditional sense, and heroes that you cheer for. There are also key characters who have motives that may reveal them as heroes or villains in the further entries of the series. The book is packed with humor and heart, with some harsh truths about family and cultural assimilation that resonate for all cultures and races. I also have to acknowledge that this book advances Asian representation in media and demonstrates that culturally specific stories can be relatable and enjoyable for all readers.

Enjoyable...and worthy of the hype!

I loved the story about the families! More importantly I really enjoyed all the little details about Singapore and the foodies.

Just the perfect book to listen to on vacation!

Singapore here I come!!!

This book is so much fun! I felt like I was getting all of the gossip about the most fascinating group of people. The narrator did a great job with the different accents and voices!

The writing was distracting-- someone please tell Kevin Kwan he doesn't need so many dialogue tags-- but I was able to get over it for the story's sake! I'm excited to see what everyone gets up to in the sequels.

So Much Fun

Lynn Chen's performance was on point! Her annunciations and pronunciations of the artists, designers, plants, paintings, etc made it all so glamorous! I'm looking forward to watching the movie, but alas, I feel it will not live up to Lynn Chen's expert story telling.

Immensely Enjoyable!
