What you need to know before your trail
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor.
On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.
Travel Guide
Singapore
Oh the wonders of travelling in a book. Singapore sounds amazing and is well evoked in the novel. It’s said to be the place with the most millionaires in China. Wait until you visit Carol’s house – stunning! There really is a huge palatial house in this street so if you walk past, be sure to see if Carol is around.
The sights, sounds, food and fashion sense come to sparkling life.
New York
Glamorous too but it’s in stark contrast to the wealth dripping off every page when Singapore is mentioned! this isn’t on the map as well, you really need to stay in Singapore for this read.
