    It sounds like it could've been an excellent story if some of the characters were toned down a bit. It's a great reminder to writers to make sure that even your bad guys are somewhat relatable/realistic. And also interesting to note that a great audio book performance can almost make up for story flaws. Thanks for sharing this, Happy Reader!

    I loved the movie Crazy Rich Asians but didn't even realize it was based on a book. May have to pick it up.

    I'm curious as to whether or not this one will be made into a movie. I'd love to see a movie set partially in Capri.

    Oooh! I really liked watching Crazy Rich Asians. Haven't read the books yet though. I keep hearing great things, and always nice to see Asian-oriented books! Wow, of course old entanglements would come back haha. Glad you enjoyed it overall!

    A very honest review! Crazy Rich Asians is one of my favourite films. I haven't read the book yet but I own it. The description of this books sounds good and something that I would like, but I do hate over the top characters and predictable books, I have done a little Google to see how many pages this book has (as I am a slow reader) and there isn't too many so I think I will put it on my to-read list. I also really like your style of writing, some book reviews are boring and not enjoyable to read, but this is a great review x

    That's something that really gets it for me is characters and character development. And if the plot is too predictable, I lose all interest. Thanks for sharing your review of this book!
