I think it’s just a fun, mindless read. I enjoyed it, but I read it when I was taking a break from some more intense books. If you aren’t into it, move on, but it takes a bit to get going.
I found the audio book was easier to listen to in the car then reading it. I do love the movie much better. Cuts out a lot of the crap and puts more oomph in the story.
Eh if there’s something else you want to read, I would. It’s just an ok story, and ok writing. It was entertaining for me to read about the cultural stuff but overall, I wouldn’t recommend. To many great books out there!
The books are very long with a lot of characters and stories to keep track of. I actually put the first one down and came back to it like a month later, pushed through it, and ended up really liking the book. It’s better than the movie IMO.
I loved it.
I liked it!!
I am on second book ……keep going, it will hook you!
Thank you! I’ll keep at it!
It was a difficult read for me. It was an “okay” book. I liked the movie.
Yes!
I didnt finish it but loved the movie
No- quit reading now
@Brenda You sound unsure ?
?

I actually liked the movie better than the book.
Liked the movie tho!
I liked it
I didn’t.. But to their own
I did not like it
It’s been on my TBR list awhile. I keep putting it off for other things.
Wish i had.
No. Silly love story.
Agreed. Couldn’t get through it and I don’t often abandon books ..
No!! Saw the movie and found it stupid. Didn’t even try the book
It was ok, just got the 2nd book today in the series
No, I thought it was a terrible read, nothing but shallow and pompous characters!! ????
No, watch the movie and that’s enough.

I couldn’t do it. Gave up.
Loved it! China Rich Girlfriend also amazing.
I couldn’t finish the book either, but did like the movie

I didn’t like the book or the movie
Wow it kept me interested.
No, don’t finish it. This is one book where the movie is way better! I only finished it because my I read it for my book club.
Yes
No. I thought it was nothing but a name dropping piece of trash.
No. I felt it was poorly written, the plot was predictable and it’s a poor representation of Singapore.
@Ollie AGREED. I enjoyed the movie as something fun to watch with girlfriends but the book was awful. I put it down
No. But movie is good
said no one ever?
@Karen that just proves how bad the book was!?
No
It’s easier to watch the film. I enjoyed it.
Movie is better unless you’re an Asian
I found it really hard going and gave up ?
I found it an easy quick read and really enjoyed the series. It’s definitely not a book I would continue with if I was struggling.
It was just about an okay read for me ……
Wasn’t a great read, just mediocre. And the constant footnotes were annoying!
@Jessica agreed!
Well I loved this book thought it was hilarious and then had to read the trilogy
@Caroline I absolutely agree! Although the second one was my least favourite of the three!
I thought it was just a very simple predictable romantic comedy. And not very funny
I loved it
Loved it
Movie was great
Really enjoyed it
I loved reading it! Had to read the next two immediately as well
I didn’t read the book ,saw the movie and liked it.
I couldn’t get into the book
I couldn’t finish it.
I enjoyed it and finished it, but will admit to not finishing books.
Loved it!!
Loved the whole series. Keep going
I couldn’t push through but my sister LOVE it and read the entire series
Omg yes! I just finished the third book a couple weeks ago and it was my absolute favorite
I struggled with it as well. I exchanged it on audible. The movie was good!!!!
thought the movie was better

@Tonya having the family tree handy really helps!
I just started it. I am on chapter 6 and enjoying it so far.
I couldn’t get into it.
I broke my rule about reading the book before seeing the movie, and then I loved the movie and couldn’t get I to the book. Gave up.
l am planning on reading the book with in the next week.
No… I returned it..
Terrible
Just like the movie
So good!
I am close to the end and can’t wait to get to the next two.
Oh dear, it’s on my bookshelf ready to read!!! ?
Yes!! Once you understand the lingo you’ll be right
I quit 1/3 of the way through. Thought the story was juvenile.
Meh
No
Read the 1st & 2nd book. Liked them both!
