@Dresden I haven't decided where I'm putting any of the books I've read for bingo yet, either.

Finished Crazy Rich Asians over the weekend. I was expecting an Asian drama in book form, and that's pretty much exactly what it is, complete with a number of common tropes. The characters have a bit more depth than your standard drama fluff, however, and the amount of discussion on Singaporean high society and culture elevates it further. On the negative side (for me), the narration--like many of the characters--gets very caught up in luxury brands, which I found kind of dry and unnecessary; I guess it might enhance the experience if you're familiar with the names, but most of them went over my head. Additionally, the first third introduces a confusing number of characters. Thankfully, it gets easier later on, but at first, it's hard to tell who's important enough to keep track of (especially given the extensive family tree provided at the start).

Overall, this was a quick, fun read, and I liked it enough to add the next book in the series to my TBR.

(Bingo squares: Family Drama hard mode; Eazy, Breazy, Read-zie; maybe Stranger in a Strange Land hard mode; Debut Work; (alt) A Change in Perspective.)

Still trying to decide what to read next.
