Honestly a great book, just with so many (purposefully) characters you simply hate. Although the story itself was amazing, the plot twist at the end felt rushed and out of place. #JusticeForAstrid (gurl u deserve better)

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

Drama 🎭, voyeurism ✈️, and the super rich of Asia 💎

This was a comedic romance full of super rich family drama 🤪 That dynamic of dating between the invisible lines of social classes.

On top of all that, it gives the reader a peek into Asian culture.🎏 I think that’s what I loved the most. All the details about customs and the descriptions of the homes + landscapes. 🎋

Read this if you like ⤵️

🏮 Falling in love with someone above your “social class” trope
