Also the homophobia and rape jokes are more than I have time for. I don’t know how this could be a ‘fun and light’ read for people. I don’t think we read the same book.

The further into the book you get, the worse it gets. Nothing about any of these characters made me want to read past all the terrible things happening on the bachelor/bachelorette party.joemkl's review against another edition

3.75
Some of it was a little bit of a stretch to me (not necessarily the extravagance as I have no idea what it's like to be rich or in Asia) but more things like how Rachel adjusted a little too easily right away to finding out Nick's family is mega rich? She just kind of rolls with it no questions asked about it (at least until later in the book). Not even a debrief after the first event?
I loved the soap opera, the multiple storylines/perspectives intertwining, and the tone being lighthearted compared to my usual books.
Overall I still enjoyed and look forward to finishing the series. I listened to the audiobook and by the end the narrators "Nick" accent was getting a bit hard to listen to, so fair warning! Most of the other characters were ok.
