Another fun and entertaining read. In this installment, Rachel Chu becomes incrementally more interesting, but mostly because of the people around her and the experiences she is thrown into.
This book offers a growing cast of characters - in fact, I was disappointed not to see more of Nick's mother Eleanor - in increasingly soap opera-y storylines. It also takes us beyond Singapore to Hong Kong and China, for even more jaw-dropping examples of how the insanely wealthy "China rich" elite spend their money. To some extent, this book offered "more of the same", and I grew a bit weary of all the references to fashion and food. But there was even more drama and intrigue than in the first book, so it was still an engaging read.
