Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have read this right after Crazy, Rich, Asians. I was already burnt out on people being obsessed with status and money. This didn't make for a good follow up. I didn't like the focus on Stanley's will and Fred just rubbed me the wrong way. But, neither situation was anything out of the ordinary. Ms. Wang's writing was well done and her character development was excellent, it was just the subject matter that annoyed me.
Wonderful book exploring familial bonds. I really liked the rich and complex character development in this story.
This first several chapters of this book started really slow for me. It’s a lot of talk about business, professional success, wealth and the relentless chasing of material things-all of which I find incredibly boring
I received this book as. Goodreads give away. It took me a long time to start and a long time to slog through. I found this full of deplorable dysfunctional characters and didn't root for a single one. The book jacket premise was captivating bit it didn't do anything for me.
Felt a bit like a stereotype drama. Still, it reels you in and I get why my mom loves korean dramas now. This felt a bit like it.
I flew through this one. Definitely recommend for people who like The Nest and hearing about the often unrelatable problems of wealthy people.
Don't be like me and try to write a review weeks after you finished a book. I remember really enjoying the characters and situations. All of the family members felt real, except maybe the daughter's husband, but he wasn't really in the book very much. It's much more The Wangs Vs. The World than Crazy Rich Asians.
3.5 stars.

Don’t have any strong feeling one way or the other on this one. The story felt a little familiar, but the characters were well done and felt real, if annoying at times :)
Good story. If you liked The Nest, you might like this Chinese-American family drama.
Absolutely amazing! Loved it. I know people like this, and this was just fascinating.
Saw it compared to Crazy Rich Asians, but this is definitely more focused on white collar Taiwanese-Chinese-Americans, some of whom have "made it" but aren't "crazy rich."
