\"\"*STARRED REVIEW<\/strong>
\nKevin Kwan<\/a>\u2019s third volume continues to expose \u2013 albeit with plenty of schadenfreudian humor \u2013 the outrageous excesses and over-the-top machinations that began with his debut, Crazy Rich Asians<\/em><\/a> (currently in highly anticipated celluloid production<\/a>). Lydia Look, who voiced book two, China Rich Girlfriend<\/em><\/a>, with energetic aplomb, reprises her crisply clipped Singlish with unfailing enthusiasm; her \u201cAiyah!\u201ds and \u201cAlamak!\u201ds provide emphatic punctuation to the shenanigans of Kwan\u2019s \u00fcberrich folks.<\/p>\n

By being Manhattan-based, Nicholas and Rachel Young are temporarily detached from Nicky\u2019s extended dysfunctional family in Singapore. When family matriarch Su Yi falls gravely ill, her Tyersall Park home \u2013 an unparalleled, legendary estate \u2013 swells with fawning well-wishers. Missing is her favorite grandson Nicky, from whom she\u2019s been estranged ever since he chose Rachel over his family.<\/p>\n

The local drama, meanwhile, implodes. Cousin Astrid\u2019s marriage has floundered, as she\u2019s involved again with her less-than-appropriate first love, Charlie Wu. Kitty Pong is now Kitty Bing, married to China\u2019s second wealthiest man, but her new billions still can\u2019t buy satisfaction, especially when her new stepdaughter keeps stealing her spotlight.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: Libraries will want to share the wealth of this rollicking, can\u2019t-turn-away pick, especially ideal for beaches and road trips.<\/p>\n
