A review by ranee_samaniego
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
2.0
I had really high expectations going into this book after watching the movie. The movie was hilarious, quippy, and visually stunning.
The book was, in my opinion, a bit of a letdown.
I think my main complaint with the book was the lack of focus on any one character arch or couple's story. The movie focuses heavily on Rachel and Nick's story, with the other characters acting as well-developed side characters. On the other hand, book had an equal focus on all of the characters. This just made it a bit harder to connect with any one character or couple.
