This book share the stories of a group of interconnected wealthy Asian families. We follow what happen to Rachel and Nicholas but we also get glimpses of the life of several of Nicholas' cousins. I don't think that this book should be read as a romance story or the reader will end up being disappointed that the book doesn't focus more on their relationship. Personally I think that the world they evolve in is fascinating and I appreciate having other POV, even if sometimes I was a bit annoyed that we didn't see more of Rachel and Nicholas. Rachel was a great character but Nicholas was a bit exasperating; even if he is written as being a bit clueless and in his world, what he did or rather didn't was a bit extreme and I appreciate that Rachel call him on it. The other characters were also mostly interesting. There were a bit too much of names dropping when it came down to brands and clothes and it can become a bit exasperating after a while. On the whole, I found this book interesting and funny and it was a nice read. 
 On the kindle, the notes system doesn't really work well, as you always have to click on the link and then come back to the novel which put you off the story. I ended up not checking them, which was a problem as the author uses a lot of Chinese terms. It's not a critic of the writing but rather on Amazon's system which is not very practical.
