Review of 'Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians #1)' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

The story of Rachel, whose boyfriend invites her to meet his family in Singapore, without even hinting that his family (and the people who gravitate around it) is richer than rich - and not necessarily behaving in a "not richer than rich" way. Drama ensues. I liked it way (way) more than I thought I would - it does have a Downton Abbey meets Gossip Girl in Singapore kind of feel, it's generally pretty funny, many characters are likeable (and you love to hate the ones you do), the sprinkling of Malay and Chinese expressions in the dialogs is pretty well done, and that book made me SO HUNGRY, there is SO MUCH FOOD!
