Calista's Reviews > China Rich Girlfriend

I enjoy this soap opera-esq series. Great summer reading.

The adventures among some of the wealthiest people on Earth continue. These people consider wealthy to start over a billion dollars and if you only have a few million dollars you are just on your way to being wealthy. People do some crazy things with money like owning a private 747 jet and putting a koi pond on the plane among other luxuries.

Rachel and Nick get married and his mother starts a whole lot of other drama to try and make up with Rachel. She finds her biological father and he is now a big politician. He wants to meet her, but his wife is afraid it will ruin her career. Step-mother won't even meet with Rachel.

So this story is about Rachel meeting her step-brother and all his crazy rich friends. Rachel is actually poisoned by some crazy situations.

We also see a story line that doesn't seem to really need to be in the story, a sub/sub plot about a woman who is wealthy and an actress who wants to fit in with the high-society women in Hong Kong. We see the lengths people go to to be accepted.

Lastly, we see Astrid and her husband Michael and their struggling relationship from last time. I like this story and I could have used more of this storyline. The end left me wanting to know so much more. Now I need the next book.

This could easily be made into a real soap opera and it would be very entertaining. It would take quite a budget to make though. I hear they are making this book into the 2nd movie and I'm excited to see it. These books are fascinating.
