Loved how addicting this series was. It was a lot more easier to read then the previous book in the trilogy. I wished more characters outside of Rachel and Nicolas had a spotlight, but this was an overall good trilogy.

I really enjoyed this conclusion to the Crazy Rich Asians series. It was a lot of fun, with far more serious elements tied in compared to the prior books, which made all of the drama feel a little more "real". The pacing felt a little off at times, but for what the trilogy was meant to be — mainly ridiculous and over the top — Kwan delivered!

I really enjoyed this book but I’m also sad that it’s over! I’ve loved reading about the Young, T'sien and Shang families.

My favourite is still Astrid. But I also love Nicky and Ah Ma. I would’ve loved to find out more about Ah Ma’s past told from her perspective.

The only thing that bugged me was that the one character that had a mental illness was just brushed off as being psycho - I will admit that I did think they were really crazy but when you found out more about them, it did make sense and I started to sympathise.

I thought the ending was perfect; it wrapped up the series really well and all the characters got a satisfying ending.

Highly recommend this series for the wild lifestyles and gossipy characters.

Have some issues with the way this book villainizes mental health - bipolar disorder.

This book is more than just a satire of the lifestyles of extremely rich people.   While the money and flash are strictly for the very wealthy, the drama of a family vying to inherit from a dying matriarch could be any family grieving while concerned about their own worth.

How is it possible that this book had even MORE drama than the last ones!? There were definitely some parts that were frustrating and emotional. It really shows you how awful some people can be? But wow did the ending make up for it! I absolutely loved the wrap up of the ending and was so happy to see how things turned out for a few characters! I couldn't believe how attached I got to some of these characters. Such a good ending to the trilogy!!
