The book is predictable, but I don’t need contemporary romance books to blow me away with plot twists. may* (if you squint hard enough) give some context as to why someone holds the beliefs they do — but it doesn’t excuse it. Both affecting and uplifting, this book is for anyone who has ever had a problem with family and boundaries… in fact, for anyone who has ever had a family. Bought this after reading rave reviews by bookstagrammers and they were not lying: a laugh-out-loud rom-com from start to finish.Other than that, it was an okay time - Crazy Rich Asians, Bridget Jones's Diary plus Sex and the City all in one package. Even though there's a lot of people who are like "THE HEROINE AND HERO MUST BE EACH OTHER'S ONE AND ONLY" I'm okay with them not being that way, necessarily, as long as it feels organic and isn't done for cheating drama (I HATE pointless cheating drama, FYI). Many Asian authors seem content, they’ll mention that racism is bad and use over the top racism to show that the MC isn’t like their families but there are rarely consequences for it. Andrea was funny and brash and the romance in this is a mixture of hate to love and the definition of slowwww burn. That was annoying because this is a traditionally published book and it is not an ARC, so you expect a certain level of quality from books of this nature.

This book was a lot of fun to read - and the description of Crazy Rich Asians meets Bridget Jones' Diary is absolutely perfect. 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. Hilarious … Last Tang Standing is not just a novel about Asian women, it’s a story about women everywhere as we fight for our personal happiness, love and respect’ Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai , bestselling author of The Mountains Sing --This text refers to the paperback edition. Andrea is a relatable, laugh-out-loud protagonist, a high achiever who also gives in to her weaker instincts on occasion.I am simply sick of reading about contemporary Asian characters who are racist while excusing it as cultural. This book is a clearly representation of how many societies acts towards different cultures and interracial couples with dark, quirky and sarcastic humour. Wtulił się we mnie, a ja jeszcze raz pomyślałam o Andrei Tang, o presji ze strony rodziny, o jej ambicjach i zagubieniu.

Hmmm, w sumie nigdy nie pasowałam, bo mając 16 lat nie myślałam o sobie w kategorii „singielka”, a potem pojawiłeś się Ty i… o matko! However, I am not suggesting that Andrea was given an artificially perfect and well-rounded personality. The romance between the characters is so slow burn it will make you pull your hair sometimes but is so damn realistic and cute, you either wish this to happen to you or just wait until he appear in front of you. May 3, 2020: I'm so ready to be taken into all the Singaporean wealth and shine through this book since it's compared to Crazy Rich Asians and of course I want to read a Southeast Asian character.However, I think there wasn't enough focus on the main love interest, he sounded very nice but a bit bland because I didn't really get to know him. Lauren Ho’s incisive, sharp voice lays bare one of the central questions in many professional women’s lives—is everything we give up to live a ‘good life’ worth it?
