I think this might have been one of my favorites of the series.  It was nice to see Astrid get a happy ending.  It was dramatic and over the top like the first two books were and there were a few characters I just couldn’t stand; like Eddie—he was really annoying.  But the ending wrapped everything up nicely.

I was so close to dnfing bc the some of the side stories were so boring and dragged for way to long. I liked how it ended overall but I don’t think I would pick this series up again.

This was better than the second one but not as good as the first one. I loved seeing more of Astrid's story and I really enjoyed the ending she got.

I liked this one more than the first two and I think that’s mainly because all the ridiculous things of the previous two came together I’m a hilarious and also clever way. Definitely my favorite of the 3!

Loved how addicting this series was. It was a lot more easier to read then the previous book in the trilogy. I wished more characters outside of Rachel and Nicolas had a spotlight, but this was an overall good trilogy.

I really enjoyed this conclusion to the Crazy Rich Asians series. It was a lot of fun, with far more serious elements tied in compared to the prior books, which made all of the drama feel a little more "real". The pacing felt a little off at times, but for what the trilogy was meant to be — mainly ridiculous and over the top — Kwan delivered!

I really enjoyed this book but I’m also sad that it’s over! I’ve loved reading about the Young, T'sien and Shang families.

My favourite is still Astrid. But I also love Nicky and Ah Ma. I would’ve loved to find out more about Ah Ma’s past told from her perspective.

The only thing that bugged me was that the one character that had a mental illness was just brushed off as being psycho - I will admit that I did think they were really crazy but when you found out more about them, it did make sense and I started to sympathise.

I thought the ending was perfect; it wrapped up the series really well and all the characters got a satisfying ending.

Highly recommend this series for the wild lifestyles and gossipy characters.
