Reviews with content warning for Racism - Crazy Rich Asians

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

I had a few moments where I was about to DNF because of the over the top drama. But then that same over the top drama would pull me back in. I’m divided on this one.

I wasn't planning to read the first book since I've watched the movie but oh my I didn't regret reading it eventually because

IT HAS A DIFFERENT PLOT?!?

I'm telling you, the book is so much better.

This book, series to be exact, is full of money and poor people discrimination (it's not THAT bad but if you've read it, you'll get my point). Every time Rachel meets an Aunty or an Uncle or the cousins, they impliedly asking her "Are you Rich?" "Do you want Nick's money?" Like? Mind your own business?? And Eleanor UGHH she ALWAYS trying to find the bad in Rachel when the other Aunties are getting to accept Rachel. It seems like the word ‘privacy’ doesn't exist in their world, Eleanor is a freaking stalker. She could be curious about someone's life and the next day she knows everything, everything.

Apparently the book isn't just about Rachel and Nick, but also some other stories like Astrid and her family problems, Eleanor being a stalker, the psycho Aunties. I swear, I can be rich if I get a dollar for every time anyone trying to bring Rachel down. I enjoy reading this series more than I expected honestly, although yeah, it has a lot of dramas but this is one good chick-lit.
