This book is fun, addictive, and nostalgic for anyone who has spent any time in Singapore - it's great fun if you recognise all the settings! There are some fun characters, but I have to say that Rachel and Nick are excruciatingly boring and naive. The reader is obviously meant to root for them but they have literally no personality other than being 'nice', which is not particularly compelling. 
The descriptions of opulence can be fun but take up too much space that could have been spent on the climaxes of the plot - which seemed to be completely rushed at the end, which was a shame. 
All that said, I read it in about 24 hours, so evidently the author is doing something right!

It's so pacy and drags you through a million and one intertwining stories. I loved the first book and the second is just as good, although please in the third book can Rachel have a break, poor gal?

Y'all this book was so good! I loved the new characters. Especially Carlton. There were so many twists in this one that I loved and so much drama! I just love these stories and characters!
