![]() This novel features an ensemble of protagonists and the chapters rotate between the varied cast. Each protagonist is part of or related to extremely wealthy families in Singapore. Like, crazy wealthy. The plot centers around the wedding of Colin Khoo and Araminta Lee but it goes all around the world as Kwan narrates the lavish lives of these incredibly high rollers. This novel was recommended to me by a student and I was immediately taken aback by the title. Regardless, I gave it a go and found myself reading some kind of almost-adult Gossip Girl set in mostly in Asia but with serious time in North America and Europe. While I have not yet chosen to read the sequel (the characters' lives were unfathomable at times), I look forward to seeing the movie when it premiers this summer.
