Very much like the movie, although I did prefer the ending in the book. This book focuses on the legacy of the large Shang-Young family, so if you find it hard to keep up with several characters this one might be one to avoid.

2.0

my favourite thing about this was seeing rich east asians flaunt their money, that was it. the plot was meh, very predictable and the ending was so vague. there was no growth of characters and the main characters were very flat. i also didn't like the use of a lot of racial slurs and the term exotic used to describe good looking asian people, felt creepy

It’s a funny book, but there are some parts where reactions are missing. A lighthearted book. Would recommend
