A review by ksophialydia
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
4.0
Somewhat in disbelief that I read this book in two days, but it really sucked me in.
I’m not Asian, nor am I exceedingly rich, but I do come from a large extended family and I was able to relate to the drama and the gossip that comes with it. Moving around a lot growing up meant I was always dealing with new social groups, sometimes much more monied than myself. Rachel’s journey of trying to navigate a world so foreign was also relatable.
I loved so many characters in this book, and the ones we’re supposed to loathe I loathed. I liked the way it was written, and even with all the POV characters it never felt too busy or hard to follow. Each character’s journey was distinctive, and really quite fulfilling in the end. (Shout out to Charlie for being an amazing human being.)
Onto the next one, because I have no self-control.
