I will preface this review by saying I DNF this book.
šāWhen Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she may one day marry. What she doesnāt know is that Nickās family home looks more like a palace, that sheāll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asiaās most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back.āš

This is my first DNF of 2019.
Absolutely awful read for me. Anyone else?
First off, there were a million characters who after even reading 30% of the book I donāt know anything about them other than their favorite designers, how many houses or other āthingsā they own and how horribly shallow, and vapid they are.
None of them have any kind of meaningful or deep dialogue. All they talk of is designer this, country club that, how much money this costs, going to womenās bible study here, man proud to have had 3 mistresses while married to his wife of 13 years.
I mean, really? I donāt want to waste my time reading a book about spoiled wealthy adults who are materialistic and have zero moralsāso much so that they care about absolutely nothing except making more money.
Second, even as far into the book as I managed to get, there wasnāt even much of a storyline at all! All I know is that Rachel and Nick are going to Singapore for a wedding and his family didnāt know Rachel existed.
This is also supposed to be a satire, yet I literally found none of it even close to being funny. A truly unenjoyable, waste of time read for me.
