God it’s unbelievably sad, witty, beautiful. CANT STOP READING ITTT

REALLY REALLY ENJOYING IT SO FAR!!! So wholesome, heartbreaking, soul-stirring

Really really enjoying it so far. I love the whole host of quirky and uniquely different characters, the settings, the imagery. It’s all so savory, so indulging to sink my teeth into. The little subplots of romance, intrigue, mystery; it’s all very gripping. It makes me feel as if I’m transplanted into a whole new Asian world, a luxurious island of its own drama, if you will.

Really enjoying this drama filled, rich people escapades enriching soap opera-esque book by the author of crazy rich Asians. Really loving the gripping writing style, reads like a gossip magazine, you’re Gossip girl meets bridgerton esque in a book. It’s totally crazy rich Asians coded, I’m absolutely loving it. Love the different characters being introduced to us. Can’t wait to continue reading this :))

Really enjoying it so far 😜

Surprisingly in love with it. The writing and wry humor is delectable. The self-deprecating humor is just a joy to read through especially when one is in the throes of despondency and despair. I utterly adore Phoebe’s character and can emphasize with her quirkiness and her capricious complex character predispositions wholeheartedly.

So quite slow in pacing, its dragging a lot. Even though I was intrigued in the beginning, its gotten slow from 30% and more on. But lets see...

Almost midway into the book. Currently there is mystery brewing albeit it’s a bit slow in terms of the plot unraveling. It does pique the interest but the way the story unfolds is quite slow which does make me, as a reader, lose interest in the suspense often. But nevertheless I persist because I am intent on finding out all the unresolved mysteries in this book!

Crying my way through it 😢, most devastatingly and achingly beautiful, such resilient characters surprise me. I’m in awe of such characters the author has written so beautifully in this novel. I am just speechless. It’s just excruciatingly how horrible the events unfold in the characters lives in this book. Just gut wrenching but beautiful paradoxically.
