Crazy Rich Asians

(Description comes from the 2013 Anchor Books edition) When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees on a summer in Singapore to visit her boyfriend's "traditional" Chinese family, she expects the visit to be relaxing, if a little dull. She has no idea.... Nick's childhood home is a palace. He grew up riding in more private planes than cars. He and Rachel will be attending the wedding of the year. Oh, and Nick just happens to be one of Asia's more eligible bachelors--and his formidable mother isn't so sure Rachel is the right one for him.

An American-born Chinese economics professor accompanies her boyfriend to Singapore for his best friend's wedding, only to get thrust into the lives of Asia's rich and famous.
