Many loose ends are left untied, and why does no one but ME care about Eric’s adorable daughter who thought she was getting a new mom? Its set in the glamorous side of Singapore, living in the limelight of blitz and upper side but still has elements of the everyday middle class struggles.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway (Kindle version) and I thank the publishing company and the author for a chance to read and review this delightful book. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Some reviewers thought the heroine was too bitter and cynical but her personality is actually a lot like mine (bitter, cynical, hard-working and ambitious), so I actually really related to her sense of humor. After a promising beginning focused on family strife, Last Tang Standing turns its attention to Andrea’s love life, and that’s where it fails to deliver. She has an emotional growth arc, where she learns to appreciate her friends even though they have too much plastic surgery, date assholes, and like to have public FaceTime sex.For fans of Crazy Rich Asians and Bridget Jones's Diary comes a hilarious story of love, friendship and the most intrusive people in the world: family. Crazy Rich Asians meets Bridget Jones’s Diary in this funny and irresistible debut novel about the pursuit of happiness, surviving one’s thirties intact, and opening oneself up to love. Despite not getting on with LTS, I was pretty happy to try this author again because of how much I initially loved the idea of the book.

The funniest rom-com I’ve read in a very long time…The writing is so slick, the characters are so real, the pacing is so perfect!She thinks her coworkers are workaholics or incompetent, her clients are unappreciative, her relatives are vindictive, she’s constantly hungover, her dates are awful, and she’s an idiot for expressing interest in them. But I kept reading and started to realize I wasn't being treated to a up-close and personal view of a mean girl, I was just seeing a very realistic and well-written character. Beyond that, there were some unforgivable bits that sucked away all the enjoyment that I had for this. It's also written in epistolary journal format, like BRIDGET JONES, and like Bridget, the heroine is unlucky in love and very insecure and has some habits she would like to break but can't (in her case, it's drinking instead of smoking).

The treatment of queer characters here is abhorrent and the main character’s friend took photos of her husband performing oral sex on another man to use it in court so she can extort him and there is nothing that admonishes this disgusting act.may* (if you squint hard enough) give some context as to why someone holds the beliefs they do — but it doesn’t excuse it.

Andrea Tang is 33 years old - not ancient by any means, and a hard working lawyer hoping to make partner soon - but none of this matters to the hard-core traditional Chinese-Malaysian family she has. I couldn't imagine having to put yourself out there in the dating scene at age 33, so I am in great awe of Andrea and her willingness to meet men both online (it's the post-millenium after all) and conventionally for a prospective partner.

Relatable and romantic, Andrea Tang will have you nodding along and shaking your head in equal measure as she tries to balance friends, family, romance and her career.Last Tang Standing was at its best when Andrea was sparring with her mom, or reluctantly chatting with Suresh at work. At thirty-three, Andrea Tang is living the dream: She has a successful career as a lawyer, a posh condo, and a clutch of fun-loving friends who are always in the know about Singapore’s hottest clubs. I am simply sick of reading about contemporary Asian characters who are racist while excusing it as cultural. Last Tang Standing is a literary train wreck where all the passengers are bigoted in one way or another.
