Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I tried. My issues are: 1) Too many people to keep track of, with too many interwoven family ties; 2) Too much telling, not enough showing; and 3) I’ve met the 100-page rule but it’s just not grabbing me.
Caveat: I tried to read this right as my husband decided to torpedo our marriage and I’m overwhelmed with starting my life over AGAIN at my age, for chrissakes, not to mention severe cases of both pandemic brain and trump fatigue syndrome. So, I’ll be kind and tell this book, “It’s not you, it’s me.”
For my soon-to-be ex, “It’s you, asshole.”
This book was #7 on my 2020 Reading Challenge, a book with only words and no graphics or images on the cover.
Bookshelves: asian-culture, trashiest-trash, well-i-tried, pop-fiction
Help me find something I can actually tolerate in all this craziness
