Family Trust by Kathy Wang

3.0

This was kind of frustrating to read, though I definitely enjoyed aspects of it. I loved Kate's storyline and loved Linda as a character, but every time Fred's chapter came up I found myself wanting to put the book down. It definitely does draw you in with regard to the main question of who's getting the inheritance, and how large it is, but I think to truly love the book you're going to have to care about more than that, and at the end of the day, I don't know that I did. Or I did, but it got overwhelmed by the how infuriating the choices of these characters could be (again, for me it was mostly just Fred), and the overall Silicon Valley environment. I read another review that listed this as a story for people who liked Crazy Rich Asians and wanted to see a similar story in a drama format, and I think that's a good descriptor. It just turns out that the humor and romance were what made me love that one, so this felt lacking in comparison.
