Crazy Rich Asians
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The international sensation and blockbuster Hollywood rom com. - "A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up about an heir bringing his Chinese-American girlfriend home to meet his ancestor-obsessed family." --People "Deliciously decadent.... This 48-karat beach read is crazy fun." --Entertainment Weekly When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country's most eligible bachelor. On Nick's arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

I really enjoyed the main & second major plot lines of this book, but it did get very confusing. The point of view changes characters every chapter, and also switches time and place. I felt that the beginning was really slow going also, and that the switching POV complicated that a lot. Still excited for the rest of the series though!!!
True rating is 3.5 .
It took me quite a long time to read this. I'm not used to this type of book and tbh it kinda triggered me. The materialistic culture in Asia resonates so much w me and my family. The fact that family just can't be happy for you for the person you are, but that you are defined by your family's money is horseshit but also rang true in my family. I think that's why it was so hard for me to push through this book.
I wasn't a fan of the ending , definitely fits better for a movie ending, it just seemed rushed. When Kerry reveals Rachel's history was so heavy I wish it could have been sat on for a while in the book - not the "oh yay we made up! Let's all go get drinks together" type of ending.
It was an okay read, I probably won't continue with the series.
