Product Information

Again, I’m no stranger to contemporary Asian romances and this fact that Asian families, particularly East Asian families do not want racial mixing, especially with Muslim people.

Beyond that, there were some unforgivable bits that sucked away all the enjoyment that I had for this. Told in diary form, we see Andrea’s at times self-destructive life as she attempts to balance work and her love life. I also like that the heroine had relationships with several different men over the course of the novel while trying to figure herself out. When I picked up Last Tang Standing, I was carrying the weight of a week long reading slump and I had absolutely no idea what I was stepping into; however, I certainly had not expected to step straight into what I had. Malaysian born-and-raised Andrea Tang is a successful lawyer and has broken up with a boyfriend who had been tagged as an approved can-be-a-husband by the Asian family.She describes herself as the “working poor,” while owning a flat filled with designer accessories in one of the most expensive cities on earth. Her protagonist Andrea Tang is a complex woman; she's funny and self-deprecatingly awkward while also prideful and aloof.

Laura Jane Williams, bestselling author of Our Stop 'Both joyfully entertaining and socially perceptive, Lauren Ho's debut is a vivid read on dating, work and family in Singapore through the lens of a brutally honest protagonist of gold. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.If you want a light but equally inspiring story to read during summer, give Last Tang Standing a go. Lastly, you may think that Last Tang Standing already sounds fun here, but isn't it Crazy Rich Asians all over again since it talks about family interference on the relationship?
