pickA very soft pick, if only because I still want to read another Kwan after this. Loved the personalities and the in-the-know tone for the luxe life, but Lucie's love for George was so sublimated at times that it just didn't exist, and it made it hard for me to believe what was happening. Maybe Crazy Rich Asians will be better? #contemporaryfiction
so-soThis was.. ok I guess? I did finish it. But I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and the story was very far from being relatable or meaningful. It was more some kind of emotionless reading. Which was ok as well, as it still soothed my forever-thinking head for a moment. #bookspin
#SpringSkies Day 14: This feels like it #InvolvesHeist sort of. Big Bad Wolf book haul early this year.
Since its first publication in 1937, 'Think & Grow Rich' has been considered the best self-help book in the world. The book is often called the first Philosophy of Personal Achievement; it will not just change what one thinks, but it will literally change the way one thinks.
pickA low pick but nonetheless an easy read. This book is what I call an escapist novel where you can barely be conscious reading it and it all still makes sense and it gets you away from the doldrums of the day.

pickWealthy New Yorkers faffing around and complaining? Yes please! I kind of enjoyed this at surface level; it‘s easy reading, it‘s knowing of its characters privilege, although at the same time it was mildly…disappointing? It didn‘t really go anywhere, the snarkiness wasn‘t snarky enough, the dramas not dramatic enough and it didn‘t hit the heights of Fleishman is in Trouble/Succession as I‘d hoped. A pick, but a low-ish one…
pickLovely rich people book where they grow more likeable and kinder as they should. Great dialogue and setting! Highly recommend!
