A review by kayleighregan
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
4.0
This was a really fun read!
This book has a unique plot with none of the annoying trops. I have seen others describe this book as a fluffy romantic, I would disagree. Although this book has elements of romance I think this book is more about family dynamics and the societical pressure of the wealthy, upper class Asians.
However, I can't say I was particullary taken by any of the characters but I did like Rachel, Nick and Astrid.
One thing I struggled with was keeping track of the characters points of view as it switch between with little notice.
I originally only picked up this book in preparation for the movie. I am really excited to see Gemma Chan as Astrid!!
I'm not sure if I would continue this series as of yet, maybe if I was stuck for what to ready next.
I would recommend this book if you are looking for a fun, soapy read.
