Reviews"Flashy, funny... Delicious, the juicy stuff of classic high-society drama... Rich People Problems is a fun tabloid romp full of over-the-top shenanigans, like a society party brawl that ruins both a Ramon Orlina glass sculpture of the hostess's breasts and 'a special pig that had only eaten truffles its entire life and was flown in from Spain...' A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that's a pure pleasure to read." --Steph Cha, USA Today "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.) The novels, set among three intergenerational and ultrarich Chinese families and peppered with hilarious explanatory footnotes, are set mostly in Singapore but flit easily from one glamorous world city to another... Irresistible." - Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times "Kevin Kwan has done it again. The mastermind behind the delicious Crazy Rich Asians series has drawn a cult-like following with his extravagant tales of Asia's upper echelon. He's back at with the series's final installment, Rich People Problems (rest assured, it's just as enthralling as the trilogy's first two volumes)." - Isabel Jones, InStyle "[A] hilarious family drama... This delightfully wicked family saga will have you laughing over your summer daiquiris at the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems." -- Redbook Magazine, "20 Summer Beach Reads to Stock Up On Now" "Our generation's Joy Luck Club. " --Tess Paras, Man Repeller "There are a lot of lines in Kevin Kwan's forthcoming novel Rich People Problems that will make you both roll your eyes and chuckle at the pure absurdity of the characters... Pure entertainment. Think: Bravo's 'Housewives' but with a lot more money and, as a result, a lot more drama." --Taylor Bryant, Nylon "Thank god for Kwan... In Rich People Problems --Kwan's third installment in his Crazy Rich Asians series--even more insane family hijinks unfold when greed and jealousy get fortune-hungry schemers up in a wild tizzy. Catch up on the whole saga before the film's release." - W Magazine, Acclaim for Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend : "A dizzily shopaholic comedy... Wickedly delectable... Hilarious." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times "There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich... A Pride and Prejudice -like send-up." --People "Mordantly funny... [A] winning summer satire." --Vogue "A juicy, close anthropological read of Singapore high society and its social and mating rituals... Kwan's satirical portrayal rings so true, I fear he'll need to bring a bodyguard next time he lands at Changi Airport." -- Janice Y. K. Lee, Elle "It's impossible not to get sucked into this satirical novel about the jet-setting lives of an enormous busybody family and its infinite Louboutin collection." -- Glamour "Kwan, who grew up in Singapore, skewers his subjects deftly, stylishly, and completely--but with heart." -- The Denver Post "Deliciously decadent... This 48-karat beach read is crazy fun." -- Entertainment Weekly "An unputdownably funny, original, modern novel.... I actually couldn't put this book down to eat or to watch Downton Abbey ." --Plum Sykes, author of Bergdorf Blondes "Original and fun, Crazy Rich Asians is quite a roller coaster trip. I loved it!" --Jackie Collins, author of The Power Trip "Feast on this outrageously funny and insightful novel of modern manners, and enjoy!" --Lisa See, author of Dreams of Joy and Shanghai Girls "[An] instant favorite... Opulence and zaniness reign." -- O, The Oprah Magazine, "Flashy, funny... Delicious, the juicy stuff of classic high-society drama... Rich People Problems is a fun tabloid romp full of over-the-top shenanigans, like a society party brawl that ruins both a Ramon Orlina glass sculpture of the hostess's breasts and 'a special pig that had only eaten truffles its entire life and was flown in from Spain...'
