Series Review: Crazy Rich Asians, by Kevin Kwan

Crazy Rich Asians

Rating: ★★★★☆

Goodreads / Amazon

This first book centers on Rachel Chu, an American-born Chinese Economics Professor from . Her boyfriend Nick takes her to Singapore to meet his family, and Rachel is shocked to realize he is ultra-mega rich and sole heir to a huge fortune. As the girlfriend of the most eligible bachelor in Singapore, Rachel is immediately envied and hated.

Crazy Rich Asians was quite fun! Although too full of descriptions (the entire trilogy is like that), I still found it very pleasant to listen to! I loved Rachel’s sweet and practical personality and, though Nick was so obtuse at times, he was also very sweet. I loved Astrid, Nick’s fabulous cousin, and the hilarious/annoying gossiping. There’s a lot of name-dropping about brands, which I found amusing.

Review: My (Not So) Perfect Life, by Sophie Kinsella

Rating: ★★★★☆

Recommend: Yes

Genres: Contemporary, Romance

Add it to your TBR: Goodreads, Skoob

Sophie Kinsella’s books for me are a hit or miss – I liked The Undomestic Goddess and Can You Keep a Secret?, but was not really much of a fan of Twenties Girl and Remember Me?, so when My (Not So) Perfect Life came out, I was not too convinced to buy it, although the synopsis sounded very interesting. But I actually ended up enjoying this one!
