The title really says it all. A decadant romp through Asia's wealthy, elite society, and the characters who get sucked up into the vortex. An excellently narrated audio book that is so over the top it veers into parody, but a fun romp.

Economics professor Rachel Chu had no idea her boyfriend Nicholas Young is from Singaporean family worth billions. Blind-sided by his glittering world, she tries to navigate the perilous world of match-making mamas, private jets, and multi-million dollar weddings.

Nick, obvious to his girlfriend's massive discomfort, believes his family is coming to adore her as much as he does. Nick's mother, Eleanore Young, is determined to end this relationship once and for all especially after she finds out a juicy bit of bad info on Rachel.

Other characters enter the story, including Nick's cousin Astrid, a beautiful socialite worth millions who's concerned her sexy (poor) husband is having an affair.

The ending is a bit abrupt, but definitely will leave you wanting to pick up book 2. I'm also excited to see the movie, because it will translate well to screen. The MASSIVE amounts of descriptions of objects, clothes, and homes will be a delight to the eyes, but was overwhelming while listening. I often felt like fast-forwarding through them.
