Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
4.0
This story is a title I would have never picked up. Being a girl who preferred sweatshirts and quiet nights in my bed, I never found much interest in fashion, romance, or drama.
But, this book made me realize there is more to a story than what meets the eye. The characters, the flow, and the plot were all so well intertwined that I never stopped to think about why I was reading a book like this in the first place.
Crazy Rich Asians is the title, and it's a very good title indeed. It's about a family of well, crazy rich Asians. The plot thickens with unfaithful relatives, weddings, and what kind of hat fits better with their limited edition purse from Dahshur Egypt. Fashion is a big point here. It's kind of wild and uncharted land for me personally. But this story managed to keep me sucked in.
The characters really drive this story home and I'll say this over and over again. If you have a great story, but terrible characters with no development, you're going to have a bad story. That's it.
Kevin Kwan really brought these people to life and was able to share their stories in an environment I would rarely see on my bookshelf.
The book was made in a motion picture and the movie wasn't bad. But of course, the book was, like always, better.
