I recently read the book "Crazy Rich Asians" by Kevin Kwan and I'm obsessed. It's a great summer read and it's the perfect book to read while you get some rays at the beach. Here are my top 6 reasons why you NEED to read this book.
It's a trilogy.
When I find a book that I really love, I never want that story to end, ever. Finding a good series is so satisfying because you get to indulge that story and those characters across multiple books. After you enjoy "Crazy Rich Asians," you can binge read "China Rich Girlfriend" and "Rich People Problems."
It's coming to the big screen in August.
I personally find such joy in reading books that I get to later watch come alive on the big screen. Luckily for me and you, "Crazy Rich Asians" comes out in theaters in just a month, and by the look of the commercial, it's going to be full of beautiful views, amazing fashion, and crazy drama.
It has romance.
I'm a sucker for a good romance story. While the story in "Crazy Rich Asians" doesn't really classify as a typical love story, it has elements of that within the novel. I can appreciate the chapters where Kwan focuses on the relationships between the main characters to take a break from the family drama.
It has a SASSY matriarch you're not sure if you should hate or love.
All hail Aunt Eleanor. I'm not sure if I love the way that she takes charge of her family with sassy wit or hate her for controlling those around her. Either way, her character makes the story way more interesting.
It's full of different languages and culture tidbits.
The author, Kevin Kwan, does a great job of incorporating languages, food, and customs from different cultures, giving the story more dimension while teaching you new facts about other cultures!
It's full of fabulous outfits, parties, and socialites.
I'm sure this isn't a surprise considering the book is titled "Crazy Rich Asians." The characters in this book are no strangers to a fabulous lifestyle filled with the most amazing designer clothes, lavish parties, and beautiful socialites. Reading this book makes it easier to see a glimpse of that lifestyle... and reminds me that no amount of money can ever be better than kindness to those around you!
Seriously, head to the nearest bookstore and see for yourself why it's a must-read!
