Having watched the film before reading the book, it was more noticeable where things had been rewritten or left out for the movie. I liked the book more though as you got a better understanding of who the characters are and why they behave certain ways. And of course, the missing scenes that were left out of the movie.
My favourite character was Astrid - I really rooted for her all the way through! With the way that everyone else in the family behaved, she came across as the only ‘normal’ person.
Eddie and Eleanor were the worst!! There was no actual need for their attitude - i’m glad their storylines worked out the way that they did!
I’m so looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

It's good, not mindblowing, but good.
The story was a tad too slow for me, but the ending made it all worth it.

This was a comedic romance full of super rich family drama 🤪 That dynamic of dating between the invisible lines of social classes.
On top of all that, it gives the reader a peek into Asian culture.🎏 I think that’s what I loved the most. All the details about customs and the descriptions of the homes + landscapes. 🎋
