Älskade handlingen och karaktärerna, väldigt rolig. Bättre än den första pågrund av färre karaktärer och bättre handling. Avskydda slutet dock (likt den första), det var antiklimax. Man fattar att Rachel är ”fattig” och de andra är rika, behöver inte bli påmind varannan sekund. Varför hade Colette ett utbrott och hela mordförsöket, kom från ingenstans. Visst hon var extremt bortskämd, men hon måste vara mediatränad eller hur kan inte det hänt förut. Även för mycket beskrivningar om kläder och annat som kändes onödigt, det hjälpte inte att förstå bättre.

A perfectly matched sequel. If possible, it may be even more of a whirlwind of wealth than the original. I've missed guilty pleasures like The OC and Gossip Girl (both, in fact, referenced in this book), and this fills that hole in my heart. Also, the footnotes are gold.

While still outrageously extravagant, China Rich Girlfriend isn't as cohesive and as strong as the first book. The plot was all over the place and was stretched so thin it became insubstantial. The new characters weren't as memorable as those from Crazy Rich Asians (this is just me missing the gossipy Oliver and the best gal pal Peik Lin) and the events were more absurd than sensible (but then again, this is Kevin Kwan's world of insanely rich people; what is sensible?) Even the satire wasn't as potent and felt simply ridiculous, accompanied with laughable dialogue which mostly consisted of chronic name- and brand-dropping.

However, no matter how disorderly it was written, I enjoyed Kitty Pong's attempt to conquer the Hong Kong elite society with the help of Corinna Ko-Tung. And of course, I also enjoyed the Astrid and Charlie's will-they-or-will-they-not, In-The-Mood-For-Love-esque affair with each other.

That denouement, though, was such a satisfying wrap for a rather lackluster installment. At least, we were given that.

Buenísimo!!!!
Aunque pareciera superficial y sin ninguna trama de fondo importante, al final da unos giros de trama realmente interesantes .
Tengo ganas de ir corriendo por el tercero.
