Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I heard about this novel on a book review list I’m on and decided to take a stab at it. I had just completed a pretty dense read and needed something to lighten my mind. This first book of three did the job, hands down!

I’m guessing through my own ignorance, I had never even imagined looking for a story with a funny take on the Asian experience. Through Kevin Kwan’s take, I found that his characters are relatable, hilarious and complicated.

Through this unassuming and gut-busting story, the author slowly lures you into the true essence of this book – this is not an Asian story but a human story. For that reason alone, I highly suggest you take some time to become acquainted with these characters. I promise you won’t be sorry you did!

“Communication is downright hard at times but at least we’re still talking to one another…”

Since the start of modern-day politics, which is the beginning of 24-hour news, The nation has steadily grown farther and farther apart.

As you will hear in the video below, the thesis is that we can eventually reverse our current state of politics if we just learn how to talk with one another.
