Think: Bravo's Housewives but with a lot more money and, as a result, a lot more drama. They’re not likable people-most of them-but you’re not picking up these books hoping to read about characters who change the world, you’re picking it up for pure entertainment. If you’ve read either of Kwan’s previous books ( Crazy Rich Asians and Crazy Rich Girlfriend) you know this kind of she-can’t-be-serious dialogue is par for the course when it comes to the highly spoiled, insanely wealthy Chinese families the plot surrounds. Take this one, for example, said by protagonist Nick Young's mother while scolding her only child: "You're my son-I've watched your nannies change your diapers, you know! Now, aren't you going to eat any of the food we bought?" There are a lot of lines in Kevin Kwan’s forthcoming novel Rich People Problems that will make you both roll your eyes and chuckle at the pure absurdity of the characters.
