pickLoved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.
so-soI read Kwans Lies and Weddings last year and really enjoyed it, but this older one if his just didn't hit the same. I really dislike Nick, IDK if he is just a jerk or if he is completely stupid but I would not have lasted a quarter of the time Rachel did with him during this trip. And man everyone she meets is just the worst. Overall it is insanely tone deaf about money and colonization while lacking all the charm of other wealthy romances
It's AAPI month
I have gone through my TBR bookcase and picked out 4 books I want to read this month to celebrate, I don't think Prescribe Cats is technically part of this month since it is a Japanese not Japanese American but I am adding it anyways and will hopefully pick up a couple of others including my Aardvark book box with Ling Ling Huang.
Thanks for the tag @Trashcanman

so-soThis…was not for me. We read this for my IRL book group in March and then watched the movie together—this is a rare case where I liked the movie better!
The whole read kind of low-key annoyed me. Reading about the lavish casual spending of the uber-rich just didn‘t land well with me, especially right now. The characters were largely shallow and/or unlikable—I realize that it was intended as a send-up of a particular segment of society, but… ⤵️
