I absolutely loved the Crazy Rich Asians series, so when Kevin Kwan came out with a new book, I was really excited. The same sweeping descriptions of foreign places remains, but I found the book went by quite fast - I wanted more time in Italy and less time in New York. I also found the relationship buildup lacking, as we don’t really see George and Lucie interact too much before we are expected to believe they are in love. That being said, it’s a very lighthearted, easy read that’s perfect to chase away winter blues!
