Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

The scion to one of the wealthiest families in Asia, Nicholas Young, has invited his Chinese American girlfriend to his best friend's wedding in Singapore. The girlfriend has no idea about Nick's social status and is blissfully unaware of all the machinations in place to get rid of her, courtesy Nick's lovely family. 

If there was a reading slump one wanted to fight off, this book is a worthy contender. It is equal parts funny, witty and poignant. From scheming mothers to smart mouthed best friends, from snobby aunts to icy cool grandmothers, this book gives you a range of colorful characters and none of them seem too far fetched to be true. As a fellow Asian I get them. It's just the way we are. Not all rich but definitely in to each other's businesses.
