“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
