I'm letting myself let this one go, DNF. 

This started out as a really fun read. However, with each passing chapter it became more tedious, the characters become less likeable, and the author's prejudices became more evident. 

I did enjoy this movie for what it was, I don't need the book.

my favourite thing about this was seeing rich east asians flaunt their money, that was it. the plot was meh, very predictable and the ending was so vague. there was no growth of characters and the main characters were very flat. i also didn't like the use of a lot of racial slurs and the term exotic used to describe good looking asian people, felt creepy

It’s a funny book, but there are some parts where reactions are missing. A lighthearted book. Would recommend

I had a few moments where I was about to DNF because of the over the top drama. But then that same over the top drama would pull me back in. I’m divided on this one.
