Flashy, funny ... Delicious ... A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that's a pure pleasure to read. * USA Today * Kevin Kwan has done it again. Mastermind ... [is] back at it with the series final installment ... Rest assured, it's just as enthralling as the trilogy's first two volumes. * InStyle * I gobbled all three volumes of Kevin Kwan's gossipy, name-droppy and wickedly funny Crazy Rich Asians trilogy as if they were popcorn. (Really fresh, still-warm popcorn, with that good European butter ... but I digress.) ... Irresistible. * The Seattle Times * Your next hit of over-the-top couture drama ... The perfect indulgent long-weekend read. * Elle.com * Something for everyone ... A smorgasbord of rich delights. * New York Journal of Books *More details

Person
Kevin Kwan is the author of Crazy Rich Asians, the international bestselling novel that has been translated into more than 30 languages. Its sequel, China Rich Girlfriend, was released in 2015, and Rich People Problems, the final book in the trilogy, followed in 2017. For several weeks in 2018, the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy commanded the top three positions of the New York Times bestseller list - an almost unprecedented single-author trifecta, and the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians became Hollywood's highest grossing romantic comedy in over a decade. In 2018, Kevin was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
