Crazy Rich Asians
by Kevin Kwan
This novel is a roller coaster adventure revolving around family, food, relationships, money, food, extravagance, and food. Rachel and Nick are down-to-earth professors visiting Nick's homeland of Singapore. Nice fails to tell Rachel that his family is rich, richer than she can imagine. Enter family drama.
This novel is told in chapters pertaining to the different characters and or places. There are A LOT of characters, with a cast rivaling that of A Game of Thrones (minus all of the deaths). I appreciate that Kwan used words and expressions that reflect Singapore life, and also included explanations in the footnotes (for those of us less familiar with Singapore, but are ready to dive in to learning more).
I couldn't put the book down. I bought the first novel on one leg of my trip, and the second novel when it was time to return. I look forward to reading more about Rachel and Nick's relationship, Nick's crazy family, and Peik Lin (one of my favorite characters).
