Nick and Rachel are two professors in love. He invites her to meet his family in Singapore but does not prepare her for the realities of his family. They are old money. Lots of money. The lifestyle they lead is so out of bounds of what Rachel knows, she is thrown for a loop. And Nick is seen as a very eligible bachelor so there is scheming and gossip and craziness following them everywhere. I thought this was going to be a light read, a fun romance but it was really so much more. Aside from the scheming and fun description of excess, I enjoyed that there were a lot of characters with different perspectives and that the "romance" part was not always the center of the story. Don't get me wrong, the focus on BUYING and having expensive things is a little nuts but there is more to it than that. Would have liked more focus on Rachel's field but this does depict her on vacation. Lynn Chen did a great job with the audio.
