DID NOT FINISH: 0%

I’m so disappointed! I had high hopes for this because I LOVED the movie. Although I am listening on audiobook so I am aware it probably is a better physical read. It’s just hard to keep up with all the characters and stories and it’s a bit boring. I do like the voice actress tho.

Not something I usually read, but I found this book enjoyable, easy to read and entertaining. Ordinary life in extraordinary contexts, in this case social class, is always interesting.

This was a long adventure throughout the world of these extremely rich people. So much happening all the time, it was a lot to keep track of! I would really like to check the movie adaptation next and possibly continue the series.

😍 The good:
I felt that the narration was authentic and I enjoyed the diverse perspectives. The story seemed realistic and it kept having cliffhangers, which really made me curious about what is next. I really felt immersed while learning more about the culture. It was fun, while also having some thoughtful scenes. The audio version was really fast-paced, almost like a movie, and I liked the narrator.

😅 The not-so-good:
There were a bit too many characters to keep track of, even though I can understand their purpose. It also was a bit overwhelming in terms of jumping from one character to another... I kept forgetting what was happening to each of them.

I know, I know. I’m late to the party.

I’ve learned a lot about the wealth gap, classism, and money in general as I’ve grown up (and wiser, as they say 😉). But Crazy Rich Asians was something else entirely. While I know this is fictional, I wouldn’t be surprised at the amount of money people surely drop on crazy things simply because they can.

Crazy Rich Asians follows Singapore’s richest families as they work very hard… at upstaging their fellow rich frenemies. While the characters flaunt their money in abhorrently lavish ways, the author really draws attention to class discrimination, how many ways someone can turn up their nose at someone or something, and just how incredibly unlikable these characters were. But I guess that’s the point.

This one is for you if you love gossip, extravagance, scheming, and drama. Now I’m off to finally watch the movie!

An airplane book. Something you buy at the airport bookshop if you have nothing to read, read it on the plane, then leave it behind when you deplane. Maybe you finish it, maybe you don’t.
