Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee
2.0
If you follow me for quite some time, you know how much I loved Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, so obviously I was dying to read her first novel (around 600 pages) that is centered around Casey Han, a strong-willed, Queens-bred daughter of Korean immigrant parents who aims to reach a luxury lifestyle.
Don’t get me wrong, I love MJL writing style and I think in a way it was the somewhat savior aspect of this novel but it’s behind boring and leads nowhere.
I read this one with @hendrixsbookscorner and I’m glad she feels the same way, as we reached the end we were both like what the actual fuck.
Honestly I thought I wasted my time with this book but the fact that I own the physical copy kinda threw me on a guilt trip, otherwise I would dnf.
In short words this book is mainly about the power of money, social clashes, toxic relationships, adultery, morality and cultural identity (which I’d like to have seen more of)
