Personally I found all the prejudices easier to ignore in this one, so it was easier to actually enjoy the book.
However this book did not need to be that long, a lot of the book was name-dropping in relation to food, clothes, jewelry and cars. It felt unnecessary.

I felt like it did not have as much depth as Crazy Rich Asian did.

I really enjoyed this book - not as much as the first, but it was an enjoyable read. It’s even crazier than the first book, not that I thought it would be possible. 

 

I do think it was a bit longer than it needed to be as some elements of the plot were dragged on for way too long. Literally, the plot reveals all happened within the last couple of chapters. 

 

However, I did love getting more of an insight into the minor characters from the first book - mainly Kitty. It was nice to see a proper storyline for them - even if I wasn’t that interested in them in the first place! 

 

Even though I hate Eleanor, she kind of just disappears halfway through the book and doesn’t crop up again until the very end. Seemed out of character for her to be honest, considering she likes to interfere in literally everything. 

 

Astrid is still my absolute fave and I just want her to be happy!!! And Eddie is still a dick. 

 

I’m so looking forward to reading the final book - but also sad because then it’ll be over.
