Family Trust by Kathy Wang
2.0
I received a free copy of this book by Harper Collins.
A good debut! I think my main complaints about the book is the lack of intrigue. I know we were supposed to be tangled in the messed up lives of his children and ex wife but their problems didn’t seem that hard. They also weren’t going to be fixed by money so the idea that the trust fund was actually important to the story isn’t there.
I wanted to be left on the edge of my seat but I wasn’t really. Even though I enjoyed where the story was going. It just wasn’t the kind of read you can’t put down and absolutely must know the end to.
I thought the story was about the father dying early and there was maybe a fight over the will or a puzzle to solve to get the money or a twist with how much money he actually had but it was really drawn out and the character don’t spend that much time together so the dynamic isn’t there. We also wait a long time before he actually dies and we find out what was in the will.
The end also felt a bit rushed. Lots of plots that we spent the whole book reading, gone in a few sentences.
But the book has a beautiful cover! I’m all in for more books with Chinese leads and I definitely feel this is a step in the right direction.
