Fun for what it is. Liked all the memories it brought back of SE Asia for me....though I will always have fonder place in my heart for Malaysia over Singapore I enjoyed all the slang and over the top story line.

This is so not my usual thing. But I've recently discovered that I kind of love messy rich people books. And when this was available on Libby, I figured "why not?"

And it delivered. So many messy rich people. I was furious for Rachel as people tried to ruin her relationship with Nick. I was genuinely shocked when the truth of Rachel's father was revealed (also her "grandparents" were going to blind her?!?!?!).

I just had a lot of fun listening to this and can't wait to watch the movie/finish the series.

I got so sick of the name brands that I have never heard of and the constant concern of the characters regarding their money and possessions. No one felt concerned about the truly poor people; the rich felt poor if they didn’t have enough to outdo other rich people. It was not funny like the movie.

Loved the narrator! This was an interesting book. I liked it. I did feel like it wrapped up super deeper quickly. Like, whiplash quick and it was over...

A fun read, although I found it a bit dragging in some parts.
