As much as I want to love this book because it was pitched with Crazy Rich Asian vibes, Iris Wang, as a main character, is TOO annoying.

I know that the purpose of the author in creating her is to show how a self-centered teenager acts in her everyday life but everything Iris does is just too much for me too handle. She is too selfish and never thinks of the repercussions of her action before actually doing it.

I did enjoy her stay at Beijing though. The food, the culture, and the travel were all perfectly presented I can picture the food Iris is eating all the time.

However, this did not conceal the fact that the center of this universe is an annoyance in human form. She makes these mistakes and then turns to her childish reasoning when caught.

If that is the main goal of the book, then good job. However, the storyline did not vibe with me at all.
