Ahoy there mateys! This be a series that most of the crew should have a least heard of by now. I listened to the series on audiobook. These books are basically popcorn soap-operas where the answer is that money really does solve everything. The blurb for book one is misleading as the series actually follows many different people besides Rachel. Rachel was the most boring person. She was sort of a blandtagonist (to borrow Millie @ milliebotreads word) with no real personality to her. In fact, me favourite character was Astrid. She had the most interesting character arc. Another difference to this series is that book two be me favourite. It is rare that I love the middle one the best. The third book was so out of control as to push the story even beyond the realm of any reality. But these were addictive and fun. I did think it was odd that the second and third book had footnotes to explain things when the first book didn’t. I saw the movie with the first mate and we both enjoyed it. I thought the changes were well done. I loved Awkwafina as Peik Lin Goh! But basically Rachel and Nick should never have spoken to his mother ever again. What a mess!
