Despite the excessive wealth and lavish surroundings, this story of a nice girl being blown away by her boyfriend's family is captivating. Rachel falls for Nick in New York and together they have a modest life as college professors. Nick asks Rachel to return to his hometown of Singapore for a friend's wedding and Rachel discovers Nick is part of high society in a world of private jets, multi-million dollar homes and servants galore. As Rachel tries to navigate these new waters, she is constantly attacked by Nick's family who view her a gold digger. The family would stop at nothing to tear them apart but a secret in Rachel's past threatens them the most. I understand this is already optioned for a movie and look forward to devouring the sequel
