Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy, #1)

by Kevin Kwan

So this was a fail and it's my fault. See, I read the third book (Rich People Problems) first. That I got sucked into and wanted to see how it ended.

Knowing how it ends....Crazy Rich Asians seemed to move glacially slow and I was so sick of everyone. The people I loved the most in RPP were so frustrating! Astrid being so...*gestures wildly, makes strangling motion* and Nick was SO FUCKING STUPID ABOUT HIS FAMILY AND RACHEL. I would've left his ass for lying about this shit and letting me walk in blind to an impossible situation. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. I still get so mad just thinking about it. Poor Rachel!



So I quit. No regrets.

Again, I read it out of order due to an honest mistake. I don't know if I wouldn't made it anyways because there wasn't anyone to really root for and there weren't toned down moments to balance it out like in RPP. Maybe I got lucky doing it this way.

I'll try watching this as a movie and hopefully will make it through the cringe to the good stuff. I do not have the fortitude to make it through audio. If it had a text copy, I'd have tried skimming and skipping but *shrug*. Whatever. I'm not losing sleep over it.

Notes While Listening:
-->Starts with racist hotel manager.
-->Eddie was always a dick.
-->Well, that's a way to show him!
-->ABC=American Born Chinese.
-->Elanore is Nick's mom.
-->Oh fuck "this American girl" shit.
-->Aww, Rachel's mom. So sweet. So ignorant about the money. The dears.
-->Poor Alistar lol kitty
--> I didn't know that shit about Louis Vuitton.
-->That's clever Eleanor. Devious. Terrible. But clever.
-->Cheating fucking bastard. Buh-bye sympathy.
-->Nick, you're being a dick by not telling her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-->Aramenta...?
-->Poor Astrid. But where is her kid?
-->Singaporeans love food, arguing about food and abbreviations. Kay, gotta add that to my stereotype bank. lol
-->Rachel is totally our noob protag to allow explanations for all their bullshit.
-->God, all the tacky ass gold on some Trump shit.
-->"Don't you know there are children starving in America?"
-->Sound like Collin needs some mental health help here??!
-->Ugh, Nicky you ignorant ass.
-->I liked them all better in the third book.
-->So painful to listen to, like it's a fucking car crash.
-->Look, either we tax the rich or fucking eat them. I don't even care which way anymore at this point. I just keep thinking about all the workers dealing with these fuckers and how they're living.
(and yes, I think the same thing when reading about rich white people, which is why I don't do it. )
