Going to start later this evening.
Chapter 5 I'm liking this so far but the contently changing perspectives is giving me whiplash. It starts with one pov and rapidly changes to another pov that is informing you about the person from the original pov, while not informing the reader that the perspective has changed. You really have to pay attention to follow.
I AM BEHIND ON STARTING THIS BUT I AM STARTING!! I ALREADY HAVE A MIVIE DATE SET UP LOL
Same I wanted to start the other day. I still haven’t started becauseI forgot my classes started back this week, so I have been busy with that.
So I am finally getting into this book and I can already tell that Eleanor is going to annoy me and that i like Astrid ahahha I am only on ch 13 lol
OMG the Gossip!! I can't freaking take it! These people (in the book) ANNOY me...so much!
Part 2 chap 4 This is a great book. I don’t think I like Eleanor.

I HATE Eleanor!!!
The only problem I have with this book is it jumps between story lines all to often.

Soooo I may be liking Charlie Wu!! :)
WAITTTTT the threesome was REAL!!!! I thought she was lying!!!
Wow Charlie Wu...talk about SWOON!! To love someone that much.....wow
Finished the book!! Overall i think the book was just okay, i didn't find it as comical as everyone else did but it wasn't a bad book! But i can't wait to see the movie!! lol
Hopefully finishing it today. I think this an okay book, but I don’t think I will read it again.
I will def not read it again lol
I liked how the story played out. But I didn't like the jumping from person to person and the story was a little slow paced for me. I enjoyed the book, but will probably not read again.

I thought the SAME thing...she def overreacted!!
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry. What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia's most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back. Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick's formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should--and should not--marry. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider's look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.
