Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
3.0

I’d been wanting to read this book ever since I saw the movie. Loved the movie, but the book was a little drawn out at 500 pages.

I was hoping for more description of Singapore. My husband and I were fortunate to be able to travel there in 2016 and have been trying to make it back ever since. It’s a marvelous. And it’s true that “the whole country feels like an upscale tropical resort” meets a large modern city and almost everything is in English!

An enjoyable read, although I’ve never been interested in the world of high fashion and brand names. I found the descriptions of how rich Nick’s family is and their gossipy conversations to be rather boring and found myself skimming over some chapters.
