淑女必讀的書單

這段時間crazy rich Asian 熱映，電影很一般，但是我很好奇地把書聽了一遍，電影變動很大，很可惜，降格為異常熱鬧的chic flick。

聽完了第一本，又開始聽第二本，china rich girl friend。

裏麵有個情節我覺得挺有意思。

那個大陸小明星雖然嫁入豪門卻無法融入那個封閉的上流圈子，到處受到折辱。這時候，一個自稱可以幫她脫胎換骨的導師，給她寫下很多要點，從衣服，首飾，用餐，交通，都有極為詳盡的指點，當然對我們這樣的城市平民也就是聽了一笑了之。

但是，導師還開了一條長長的書單，我覺得挺有意思的，記錄下來，咱們也看看。 話說，開卷有益，多讀點書總是沒錯的，沒準還真的和上流淑女接近了一點呢，嘿嘿
