Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan

Quarantine Reading

Finished #2 in this series and immediately moved on to Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan. I started this on June 1 and finished it on June 11.

Again, no movie (yet) so used the images from movie #1 in my mind as I read this book. Also again, I like learning the "what's next" for all of the characters from the prior book.  And, again, I kept thinking that this was so much more over the top, so much "more," so much "excess," so much "money," so much "disfunction" with most of these characters.

Don't get me wrong, I really liked this book, it was very entertaining, engaging, a page turner, and I definitely stayed up too late reading at night. Unlike Hamilton, which I'm still "reading" (yes, I'm using quotes around reading because that book is still by my nightstand, it's been in progress for at least 2 years now, it still pains me to read it, it's still boring, and I still want to finish it) and literally puts me to sleep in 5 or fewer pages, the Crazy Rich series is so entertaining, even if I'm super tired, I stay awake to read. It's the polar opposite of Hamilton in many ways: Kwan's books are light, funny, engaging, easy to read and understand. Chernow's Hamilton, is not those things.

If you liked the other two books in this series, I'm certain you'll like this one.
