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.

Maybe it’s because the movie is my comfort guilty pleasure that I throw on when I need to cry a little bit, but the differences between the book and the movie just didn’t land for me. I found that I didn’t like a lot of the characters nor the direction some of the plots went as much. I probably shouldn’t be judging the book off the movie (I’m usually a staunch reader the book before you watch the movie type of gal) but the story just didn’t have as much of an impact on me.
I’ll probably continue the series at some point because I didn’t hate it and would like to see how things play out.

I enjoyed the first installment to the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy. Kevin Kwan has a great sense of humor and he describes everything in intense detail. Astrid and Nick are the cousins that should be siblings. They are sweetly devoted to each other no matter the crazy moments their family causes. The profanity was a bit much for me, but I am have completed Crazy Rich Girlfriend and halfway through Rich Peoples problems because he is a fantastic storyteller.
Complex, heartwarming and exciting. It would have been perfect if Nicks history with Francesca and Nadine was t put in there.
