Title: Rich People Problems
Author: Kevin Kwan
Genre: Contemporary
About the book: It’s the third and final book in the Crazy Rich Asians series. When Nicholas Young’s grandmother, Su Yi, has a heart attack, the family rushes to her side in Shanghai. Nick’s childhood home isn’t the same with everyone wondering who will inherit what from her fortune.
First impressions: I read the first two books already, and I would recommend reading the series in order as this novel references previous events. I was looking forward to seeing how Kwan would wrap things up.
Characters: There’s a family tree included at the beginning, and I found myself referencing it often. With so many characters and relationships, I had to read slowly and carefully. By the end, I grew to like a lot of the family members for different reasons. Even the secondary characters are fleshed out and well developed.
Quote:
“Sometimes, the thing that at first apears flawed can end up being the most perfect thing in the world for you.”
Writing: The book is almost 600 pages in length, but the chapters aren’t too long with breaks throughout them as well. Kwan has such a distinct, descriptive writing style. The pacing picks up as the plot unfolds, and he includes some interesting twists along the way.
Final thoughts: Even though I wasn’t sure what to expect, I’m satisfied with the ending. If you’re looking for a fun series filled with drama, humour, and romance, check out Rich People Problems.

I read, then watched (film) Crazy Rich Asians, but have not attempted the other two books YET. I probably told you the author graduated from the university I work at now, back when he lived in the Clear Lake, Texas area.

If you read the rest of the series, let me know your thoughts! Yes, that’s a cool coincidence. Hope everything is going well.
