China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin KwanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book took me completely by surprise.
First, Rachel and Nick are engaged and is about to be married. Everyone that Nick and Rachel knows are invited-well all accept Eleanor Young, who didn't like Rachael in the first book. They did get married in California, but then the wedding was slipped, and Eleanor showed up-but not because she wanted Nick's forgiveness.
Eleanor found out about Rachel's real dad, Bao Gaoliao, though his son, Carlton Bao, that looks exactly like Rachel. Once Rachel found out her dad was real (and no, not an alien), she and Nick was whisked away to Shanghai, China, to meet Rachel's rich side of the family. Of course, Bao Shayoen, Carlton's mother, didn't want her husband to meet Rachel, thinking that Rachel will destroy pretty much everything she'd worked on, even though in the beginning of the book Carlton got into a car accident and someone died in it.
Of course Bao Shayao told her husband never to see or speak to Rachel ever again, even told her own son this. But then Carlton met Rachel and Nick, and found out that Rachel is the most sweetest girl ever. This book also introduced Colette Bing, a spoiled little rich girl who thought she can get away with poisoning Rachel, though her guard took the blunt of it. Even at the end, when Colette tried to manipulate Rachel into talking to Carlton, only to get her rich ass chewed out calmly and left...woof that was good.
The other thing was the Teos and how Michael was acting all rich and shit because he got money and is acting like a big shot. Astrid was legit worried about him, and even told her woes to her friend Charlie Wu, who I wanted her to be with, but at the end she left him. She didn't like how Michael was acting, even acting like a brat because she decided to leave with the maid and her son, Cassian. Michael even thought that she was fucking Charlie Wu because of all the emails and text messages they were doing, which wasn't right for him to pry into and get drunk over it.
The last and final thing was Kitty Pong/Kitty Tai and Shanghai's answer to Spencer Pratt, Bernard Tai. Basically Kitty was staying in Shanghai/Hong Kong and staying away from her crazy husband, who was pretty much treating their daughter and their whole lives like crap. He even moved them somewhere in LA, and life there sucks. She even brought a famous painting called The Palace of Eightteen Perfections and hired Corrine, whom I really didn't like. But as the novel went on, I saw why Kitty was never in LA with her family, because life there sucks so many balls. So she devised a plan to "kidnap" her daughter and took her to Singapore, where she's having the time of her life there and raising her daughter right, instead of the way Bernard wanted to raise her.
