Review:
When I finished the first book in the series I was left thinking. I want more but what more could be added to this? I don't have all that many questions that need to be answered. I was wrong! There was so much more world left to be discovered, a world that only Kwan could build for me! I was baffled by some of the things going on in this second installment, and the amount of money being spent on it as well. I had to continuously stop throughout the book to remind myself that this is all fictional money being spent but still, holy crap. This installment was a little more serious than the first, but no less funny, it simply had more things going on than I had expected. Initially, things would seem a little out of character but in the end, it all just made a whole world of sense. I loved this book to the ends and back, I do hope that the Crazy Rich Asians movie does well for more than one reason, this is one of the reasons.
Recommend it?
Hell yeah!
