A review by sapphicsoilscientist
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
Did not finish book.
I miss books with characters I wouldn’t want to kick in the shins every three pages. This book is full of people that cannot or will not behave themselves. I understand some of them are meant to be poorly behaved because they have so much money, but even the love interest is not a likable person.
Also the homophobia and rape jokes are more than I have time for. I don’t know how this could be a ‘fun and light’ read for people. I don’t think we read the same book.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Homophobia, Bullying, Car accident, Death of parent, Drug use, Sexual content, Alcohol, Antisemitism, Adult/minor relationship, and Racial slurs
The further into the book you get, the worse it gets. Nothing about any of these characters made me want to read past all the terrible things happening on the bachelor/bachelorette party.
