NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of the international sensation Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, here is the trilogy’s uproarious conclusion. • “A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that’s a pure pleasure to read.” —USA TodayWhen Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage.As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to China’s second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing.A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

"Kevin Kwan brings it home with the final CRA book! Rachel & Nick are hit with the news that his grandmother is on her death bed. As each of Young descendants race to their grandmothers side to gain her favor for her huge inheritance, we find out that what she has isn’t what it seems to be. Who is her favorite and who will take her inheritance? Read to find out!"

"So darn good! The ending was not how I expected the series to go but it was still a good ending. "

"I know, five stars? But honestly this was the best of the series. It did an excellent job of being what it is! Funny, engaging, and even a bit of social commentary. And it was excellent at the wish-fulfillment happy-endings that Crazy Rich Asians has come to mean! <br/><br/>I find the most glaring omission in this series to be the political situation particularly with China. At no point is it mentioned or tackled that the Philippines is headed by a dictator, or that politics and the internet etc is restricted in China. These MUST be factors in the world of these “CRAs” and yet it’s completely ignored. <br/><br/>I’m willing to mostly forgive this though because Kwan does an excellent job of never letting these books actually take themselves seriously. Everybody is just a little too ridiculous, self-involved, and over the top. It makes for a hilarious read!"
