China Rich Girlfriend A novel

Snarky ... Wicked ... Funny. Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Deliciously fun.... Satire at its best. People

Scandalous. Town and Country

Makes Downton Abbey look more like Downton Arrivistes.... Ingenious. The Daily Beast

Frothy. Hanya Yanigahara, Conde Nast Traveler

Lifestyles of the rich and famous, China-style The Houston Chronicle

This year's best beach reading.... As frothy as the egg whites on the sort of cocktail you should drink while reading Kwan s books.... Highly entertaining. The Washington Post

A crazy parade through the lives of the aspirational elite. Los Angeles Times

The equivalent of a Bubble Tea concoction laced with Henry James extracts and Jackie Collins sprinkles.... In the same way that Edith Wharton catalogued the Gilded Age via novels like The Age of Innocence, Kwan in his novels is doing his bit for a China that now has the second-highest number of millionaires in the world. The Daily Beast

A taste of Asian opulence served with skewering humor. The Daily News

Kwan s characters are powerful and attractive, living in the lap of luxury. NPR, All Things Considered

Very enjoyable.... Just as funny as Crazy Rich Asians, this globe-spanning tale of excess includes enough snootiness and class snobbery to fill a multitude of designer handbags. Minneapolis Star Tribune

With the same hilarity ... as the first novel, China Rich Girlfriend will not disappoint both fans and newcomers to the series. Town and Country

An equally good-natured, catty-as-hell sequel.... Part Oscar Wilde, part Judith Krantz, part Arthur Frommer . . . Hilarious . . . Over-the-top and hard to stop. Kirkus Reviews

China Rich Girlfriend is the most fun I ve had reading a book in quite some time.... A jam-packed, lively story. Amy Scribner, BookPage

A heady taste of vicarious escapism.... Read China Rich Girlfriend for the exuberant spectacle of zippy vintage cars, gossipy matriarchs-who-lunch and reckless profligacy but read it also for its very engaging narrative about people like us. Thuy On, The Sydney Morning Herald

[An] amusing, whirlwind novel. The Miami Herald

Like Gossip Girl and Dynasty and the royal family of England all at the same time. Kwan s characters behave hideously and it s hilarious. Elaine  Lainey  Lui, Flare

Will have readers clamoring for more. Library Journal (starred review)

An engaging page-turner with a multi-layered, inventive narrative. Kwan has clearly taken a few lessons from one of America s great social satirists think Tom Wolfe set loose on the wealthiest enclaves of Confucian Asia. South China Morning Post
