Dishy goodness. Argh, need book 2!

Hilarious, entertaining and crazy- just like its title- this book has successfully made me laughing out loud for the most part of my reading. Fast paced, too- with so many relatable moments and cultural reference that was funny and borderline inappropriate :D

The Indonesian translation is pretty good although I'm curious with the original Singlish version. Kevin Kwan seems to know exactly what he's writing about and I immediately ordered the second installment as soon I finished this book XD

Every single person in these books is extra as fuck, rofl.

Edit: IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS AND I'M STILL MAD NICK YOUNG DIDN'T WARN RACHEL ABOUT HIS WILD ASS FAMILY.

You had one job, Nick.

Edit: It's been a year and a half and I'm still angry Nick Young didn't warn Rachel about his wild ass family. What the fuck, Nick. Rachel should have ran.

Edit: It's been 3.5 years and every time I think about this book, my main thought is, NICK SHOULD HAVE WARNED RACHEL ABOUT HIS FAMILY IN ADVANCE.

I had a hard time getting into the book, but then it was like a train wreck and I couldn't look away. It was entertaining, in the vein of the Real Housewives. I hear the second was is better, so we'll see if I can pick it up from the library. ...more

soooooo trashy.

Crazy Rich Asians is very much in the same vein as Gossip Girl and Edith Wharton. Rich people! Drama! Snooty elderly family members! Gossip! Name dropping like it’s nobody’s business! Honestly, if you need more information before listening to this, I don’t know what to do for you.

From 8 Great Poolside Audiobooks at Book Riot.

I started this on audio and I loved hearing the many characters personalities, as well as the many different accents. It was a better experience than reading it with no context of the rich language and culture.

A good mix of vapid entertainment, touching romance, family drama, and delicious food descriptions. I'm so hungry just thinking about that coconut rice/curry food they ate on the beach.

This book was so much fun! While it's pretty predictable it's perfect for a light fun read when you're in the mood for something like that. ...more

An entertaining, twisty, romantic novel set in places I can only dream of visiting. Well written and enjoyable.
