It is glamorous without being shallow, emotional without being manipulative, and deeply satisfying without being neat.
Crazy Rich Asians is, above all, fun. It’s witty, stylish, and over-the-top in the best possible way.
Kevin Kwan gives us gossip columns between chapters, footnotes on yachts, and cameo-like intrusions of luxury as statement.
Catherine Newman takes the everyday—sand between toes, jokes about menopause, aging parents—and transforms it into something vivid.
Book Review: There’s No Such Thing as a Skinny Bibik — Charm, Heart, Tradition & A Twist of Intrigue
It cleverly weaves heritage, humour, identity, adventure and romance into a package that’s both delightful and meaningful.
This is a story that’s both sweeping and intimate, glamourous and raw, entertaining and unsettling.
This book is immersive and deeply thought-provoking, with moments of absolute brilliance. Still, it occasionally stumbles under its own weight.
