1) no, not a must, but I often have tea while reading
2) had some green tea with a few chapters of the tagged book just now
The third in the series. I'm really enjoying these books for the light entertainment value, though there are surprisingly touching moments throughout.

The title really does say it all, as only the obscenely wealthy would have to deal with these issues. Overall, this was a pretty solid ending to this trilogy. I do wish we‘d gotten more about the grandmother‘s past, though, as she was easily the most interesting character.
So, while I love the premise and the storyline, I didn‘t like the ending. I still think it‘s a must read, but it felt rushed at the end and I would have loved to linger with them long enough to develop the plot a little more. Otherwise, definitely gotta read.
I‘m gonna feel really bad when I finally finish this series. But I GOTTA KNOW.
One of my surprisingly favorite movies (crazy rich Asians) a few years ago was a book written by Kevin Kwan. Well I found an audiobook of another one of his books, Rich People Problems. Absolutely enjoyed this book making me laugh but also very geographic, historic, and culturally accurate.
Last night I did some #audioknitting to finish up my March #yearofgnomes Gnicki.under the wire for submission.
He looks like Spring just exploded. 😬

Took a minute to get into it because there are so many unlikable characters. It ended up being pretty satisfying.

As the previous two books, it's light, it's funny, and it's easy to read :)
No need to overthink to understand the book, and the end of the series was unexpected to me, but it was a fair ending (in the way that everyone got what they wanted/deserved)!
I really enjoyed Kwan's third novel in this series! It's been so much fun learning about the different characters and families in this world he created. It's the perfect novel to lose yourself in. The drama and family antics are just *chefs kiss*
Another soapy, fun, glittering story from Kevin Kwan and a great end to the series! While it dragged a bit in places and may have a bit too much time on royal and wealthy bloodlines, it was great fun and the perfect summer read! #ReadingAsia #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
A nice ending to this trilogy that wrapped up some loose ends for my favorite characters. It had some nail-biting drama, though! I really enjoyed Linda Look‘s narration again. #Libby #audiobook
I am hoping to finish this today. And should work a little too!
I‘m going to be sad when this series end. It‘s been a nice covid distraction #shutdownreadathon
You will have to refer to the family tree in the first few pages of the books and you also have to read the first 2 books to know the characters.
The places they traveled would make you want to go, too.
The customs and traditions are spot on and relatable, at least here in the Philippines.
While the last two books talked about wealth and family inheritance, this book brought up the topic of maintaining traditions. With society constantly changing to keep up with trends, how necessary is it to value traditions? As I am a traveler, do I get to have a say in wanting to maintain my hometown‘s traditions even though I am living "non-traditionally"? How do we find a balance with the decisions I make presently, to the traditional ways?
Vacation calls for easy reading. Enjoying a few days away.
If you took out all the mentions of designer gowns, custom cars, million dollar jewels and over-the-top personal jets and locations you‘d have a very nice 10 page book. It was a novelty in the first book but by the third it‘s just tedious and boring. I‘m just glad to be done with the series.
Finished this while watching the sunset last night. The whole trilogy has an underlying theme of the problem with never being satisfied, always wanting more.
Nick and his family navigate dealing with his grandmother's estate. Satisfying conclusion to the series, with people mostly getting what they deserve. Eddie's going to make a therapist rich. So will his poor kids. 🙄
As I‘ve read this trilogy, Su Yi (Nick‘s Ah Ma) has never failed to amuse and amaze me. Early in the series, she frustrated me, but this is such a wise statement.
Rich people problems is the final novel in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy and it did not disappoint. Kwan was able to tie up every storyline created for every character involved, even minor characters I don‘t have questions about after finishing it. I only wish there was more explanation on Su Yi‘s past. I‘m so happy with how Kwan ended the series and I highly recommend this series to everyone! 8/10
I didn‘t hate this book but I didn‘t love it. Too far fetched for me!
Tagged - need to finish this!
Love the cover!!
Watched Friday night with my daughter.

With how crazy life has been, reading these two books has been some of the only things I‘ve been able to stick too. The reality tv style of story wasn‘t complicated but kept me intrigued the entire time.

I really enjoyed this series. It had a some funny, ahh ha moments and aww moments. Also,I really liked the narrator for this audio and I laugh everytime I hear radio one asia.😂
1. I haven‘t read something funny in a looong time
2. I was born in the middle of the day
3. I think I‘ll say summer since soccer is my fav
4. I don‘t really know many Littens!
What a perfect ending to a great series. I‘m so glad I picked this series up. I fell in love with the characters and this final book did a great job at tying up loose ends and giving everyone the ending they deserved. I‘m so sad it‘s over. I would love for Kevin Kwan to gift us in the future with some novellas! Now time to finally see the first movie.
This book is written by Kevin Kwan, who has also created China Rich Girlfriend and Crazy Rich Asians. It is about the wealthiest and richest family in Asia and their problems. I enjoyed this book because it has an interesting point of view.
China Rich Girlfriend is by the same author or Crazy Rich Asians. It is about the life of wealthy Asians in the world. In Crazy Rich Asians, Nick has a sister named Astrid. This book is based around the ups and downs of her life.
Rating: 5/5 stars.
I do not have rich people problems because I am not rich but I tell you, grab this book, read, fall in love with characters and pretend you are one of them. Have fun.
My sister, her husband, the #manpanion and I are going on a cruise next month. It's the “we all survived cancer“ tour.
I'm trying to decide what books to take. Here are some of my choices. I will also need some audio books.
The tagged book is perfect escapism. Escaping from Houdini is ON a cruise ship,
And, there is a knitting group on board, so The Vampire Knitting Club is a good choice.
I want fun and not too deep for the trip. Thoughts?
About 150 pages in, and I just don't want this series to end, which is surprising considering the first book took a while to suck me in.
Super enjoyable 3rd book in the series. Very fun and well written. I really like listening to this series. It comes together well and is easier to read. Definitely a fun book!
Although many of the experiences Kwan narrates are not ones that everyday people experience, he is able to capture the universal experience of losing a loved one. Sadness, grief, and family shenanigans arise as the Young family deals with the loss of Su Yi - I was brought to tears multiple times through this book, both from sadness and laughter!
