ellemaddy 's review for:
Crazy Rich Asians
by Kevin Kwan
Read this a while back (2014) and was blown away and frankly felt a little shaken because at that point in my life I had never read a book with SEA characters (or a book about any SEA related stuff despite being Asian AND from SEA myself.) The cultural reset this book was for me, babes, it was (dare I say) crazy? And then of course the movie came out and it shook the society cos literally everyone and their grandma have seen it and of course the term Crazy Rich (insert city here) started being used extensively and it was a lovely, fun times because that happened very close to the beginning of Cov*d and we all just talked shit about the local rich people and also lowkey were very proud to see a romance movie with full Asian cast characters getting so mainstream. The impact this book and the movie had? Iconic.
This book was insane in a way that every description felt so lush and the author really managed to paint a picture. The details, the knowledge about (insert furniture brands) or (insert clothing brand) as the characters are jetsetting across Asia is mind-blowing. If you are secretly a chaotic gossip like me, you'd have So much fun reading this.
