Crazy Rich Asians

You have to have seen Crazy Rich Asians by now. (And, if you haven’t, shut this down and run to the nearest movie theater. I can promise you that it will be the most fun you’ve had all summer.) And if you have, you probably became as obsessed with Astrid Teo as quickly as I did. Aside from actress Gemma Chan literally being the most beautiful person I’ve ever set eyes on, Astrid became an instant but unexpected favorite. (Seriously, I did not believe a double heiress decked out head-to-toe in couture would genuinely seem as “down-to-earth” as described. I was wrong, everybody.)

I quickly realized why Rachel said she “always wanted to be her”, but even faster than that, I realized she deserved a spot on this blog. One of the very first things she’s described as is a “fashion icon”, after all.

Crazy Rich Asians, the book that’s like a vacation

What’s in it for you

What it’s about:

Crazy Rich Asians is a treat. It may sound like a drugstore buy, yet it has a tremendous amount of depth. The story revolves around Rachel and Nick, a couple living in America who are going to Singapore together for Nick’s best friend’s wedding. To Rachel’s surprise, her humble professor boyfriend is actually part of the Asian elite and his best friend is the biggest celeb of the region.
