Crazy Rich Asians buly Kevin Kwan

Hello Dragonflies,

Apologies about last month's cancellation of the book,Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. Since we didn't get to discuss this book last month we will spend sometime in this months meeting discussing our views on this book.

We will be trying a new meeting link in Teams this month. Fingers crossed it will work.

This month we will be reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. A satirical romantic comedy that focuses on Rachel Chu, Nicholas (Nick) Young, Eleanor Young, Astrid Leong, and Edison Cheng. The story revolves around the grand wedding of Singapore's most eligible bachelor, Colin Khoo, and the supermodel, Araminta Lee, which everyone calls the wedding of the century.

Kwan stated that his intention in writing the novel was to "introduce a contemporary Asia to a North American audience". He claimed the novel was loosely based on his own childhood in Singapore.

The novel became a bestseller and was followed by two sequels, China Rich Girlfriend in 2015 and Rich People Problems in 2017. A film adaptation of the novel was released on August 15, 2018.

This book is not on the official Gilmore Girls Reading list.

As always you dont have to read the book to attend the meeting.

See you soon!
