Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy)
#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.

Readers say *Crazy Rich Asians* offers a richly detailed, entertaining glimpse into extravagant wealth and complex family dynamics, with humor and viv...
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.

Finally finished this book on few picks. I don't know how to describe how I felt during the reading(?) Hahaha.
I watched the movie first before I read the book.
And I could say it's tooootally different from the movie.
And I dare to say I enjoy the movie more since I watched it more than two times.
For the book... I could say I like it, I enjoy the story but I have the big urge on my mind that I have to finish this book. Not because I'm enjoying it but I just have the feel to "I need to get this book done"

slabý rip-off na všetky americké you-cant-sit-with-us knihy a filmy. hrozne veľa postáv (čo by nevadilo, keby mali v príbehu nejaký zmysel), veľmi veľa na nervy lezúcich postáv (ehm, možno aj všetky?) a pomerne slabý a predvídateľný dej. celé to pokojne mohlo mať o 200 strán menej, keby tú trocha deja nepredlžovali opisy toho, čo je ako drahé a prehnané. ale veď ok, dočítala som, a naučila som sa pár nových vecí o ázii.
