Overall, I enjoyed this book, but this is a rare case of liking the movie better than the book. I felt like it kinda rambled on and on about the designer clothes sometimes and I could care less about that aspect.

I didn’t like this as much as I wanted to 😩 I normally love books about rich people, and I did enjoy the scenes at the wedding. However, I was looking for rich people drama and there just wasn’t any until the very end and I was over it by then. I hate to say it but I like the movie better.
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.
