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?

I love Bridget Jones and didn't know Crazy Rich Asians, so I just watched the film before starting this book and yes, Last Tang Standing is a great mix of both indeed. i wish i'd had last tang standing to read when i was younger, alongside the meg cabots and sophie kinsellas (whose hilarious rom-com lit i undoubtedly enjoyed, but never felt like i could relate to).Whether this is meant to be a lighthearted jab at her cousin's wealth or not, this is disgusting all around. I am unfortunately not familiar with the Singaporean culture so I loved getting a little glimpse at the family at the beginning, it really made me understand better the pressure on Andrea's life. Also, Andrea's relationship with Suresh is sweet, mutually admirable, but most importantly, not overly cheesy. 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. For Andrea who is turning thirty four, she's bound to feel the pressure to find love and a relationship for a lifetime.

Because if you do, if you are lured by their flat bellies and full hairlines, you will live to regret it. And that sometimes the person you've been waiting for may just be the one that is right in front of you.I loved the way the author shows how society, culture and family can influence in every decision you make, how Andrea struggles so much with herself and everything she had been taught just to be herself and doing what she thought was right. Told in diary form, we see Andrea’s at times self-destructive life as she attempts to balance work and her love life. Andrea was funny and brash and the romance in this is a mixture of hate to love and the definition of slowwww burn. Wouldn’t she rather spend her golden years discovering exciting new prescription drugs or the cerebral delights of reality TV?

Linda’s paternal family tree was an off-brand Marcos (or so it was rumored); the family had substantial interests in several mining and timber companies, with land to burn in Borneo. i've been on the hunt for stories that do not position or define BIPOC experiences in relation to whiteness - that is, stories featuring 1) mostly or only BIPOC characters, 2) nuances (e. She falls for Eric, meets his kid (who loves her), he asks her to marry him, she’s planning the wedding, and she still hasn’t figured out that she prefers Suresh. 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!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. I think what made me the most angry was they could easily have been straight and it wouldn’t have affected the story as far as I could tell. I appreciated that Eric and Suresh both felt like viable options, but Andrea seemed to feel so strongly for both that I couldn’t see this ending well.
