I was starting to feel fatigued with this book about halfway through. I think it was a combination of the detailed descriptions (I’m mixed on this—I enjoyed visualizing and immersing myself in the glitzy stuff but I also wanted the story to get on with it) and some of the very shallow characters. For example: Eddie. I don’t really understand the point of him being there other than to add an extra coating of crazy rich (which, again, while entertaining I just wanted the story to moooove). Once we got to the wedding everything started rolling and I couldn’t put the book down. Nick finally getting a clue and standing up for Rachel was so satisfying. I absolutely loved the last handful of pages where we learn about Kerry’s past. At first I wasn’t sure if I would continue on to the next book in the trilogy but now I’m interested to read more about what happens next, especially with Astrid.

I ended up really loving this? I was kind of surprised because I had already seen the movie so I thought I would be less invested. But I loved it!! The narrator is fantastic, I loved the characters.
There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but it gets easier through the book.

I would say the one issue I had was when Rachel believed these people she had just met instead of her mom. That made absolutely zero sense to me... 
But the rest was great.

Note for the minor TW I have listed, they are mentioned as part of a story a charafter tells. But it's important to note they come up.
