Wasn't anything memorable, and dare I say I liked the movie better.

I loved this book!!! I learned so many different things that I didn’t know before about Asian culture. It was fantastic and I cannot wait to go see the movie.
A fun, light-hearted book that focused on designers and food a little too much. I loved the footnote translations though.

“Crazy Rich Asians” was a very fun read!
The absolute extravagance of all these “crazy rich” families we follow makes for a dramatic tale of romance, familial expectations and societal expectations as well. I do think that with so much focus on so many characters that there were a lot of under baked plot and character threads, and I wouldn’t lie if I mentioned that I felt it maybe ended a bit too open ended. But the problem here is that I was spoiled by the relatively concrete ending of the movie. This is a three book series after all so I’m assuming most of the resolution I’m looking for takes place in those other books.
A lot of the characters stories are compelling and some of the side characters stories even maybe overshadow Rachel and Nicks(our main couple) for me. Again I definitely had a great time indulging in the richer than god characters and their catty/bitchy dynamics but this definitely felt like a Part One to a whole story rather than a complete package so ultimately the pacing felt a little off to me.

This book. This book is intense in a way that I wasn’t expecting. It delves into all of the ways the wealthy can manipulate whatever they want, however they want. But it’s deeper than that, nothing is as appears on the surface.
The reason for my deduction is that it took me what felt like forever to read it, so I had to switch to audiobook halfway through to get more in to it
