ninetalevixen 's review for:

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
3.0

This was a fun read, unapologetically outrageous yet emotional and sincere at times. Family relationships, elitism, and privilege feature prominently, as you might expect, with never a dull moment between dramatic mini-crises. I particularly loved the highlighted subtleties and intersections of various East Asian cultures, which is probably what really makes this book stand out from other stories of high society.
