Summary
‘I absolutely adored it. It is the funniest rom-com I've read in a very long time … Andrea stole my heart … I cannot wait to get my hands on whatever Lauren Ho writes next’
Beth O’Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare
Like all good Chinese children, Andrea Tang is doing her best to fulfil all her mother’s plans for her life: she’s on track to become partner at a top law firm in Singapore, she has a beautiful apartment in the right postcode and a perfect boyfriend who is practically made of husband material.
Except that those plans are unravelling fast: there’s an unfairly attractive new lawyer out to steal her promotion, she has credit-card debt up to her eyeballs, her perfect boyfriend is now her perfect ex-boyfriend and the last single cousin in her family just got engaged, leaving her exposed to romantic meddling on all sides…
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.
‘Andrea Tang is wise, witty, flawed and perfectly written. I adored her story, and felt so seen by it. If you loved Crazy Rich Asians you'll gobble this up!’ 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. I loved it’ Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times

Excellent
I totally enjoyed this novel. It was modern, engaging, descriptive and I hated for it to end.
I also very much enjoyed the narrator.
Can’t wait for another novel by this author.

Exceptional narration
This is a laugh out loud rom-com set in Singapore. I absolutely love the main character and the plot is structured as a 'dear diary' with regular updates from Andrea about her work as a lawyer and love life. It was true escapism as Andrea lives in Singapore with very wealthy friends and colleagues. I would highly recommend as it's entertaining, eye opening and heart warming!

Easy rom com
Very entertaining with laugh out loud moments but some dodgy pronunciation of words, eg Chiswick which has a silent ‘w’

Witty, entertaining & thought-provoking
This is a great book and is performed excellently. The writing is witty and often made me giggle. The observational humour about East Asian culture and sexist workplaces was very clever. The story was good. I did get quite frustrated with the main character’s stupidity at times. Would particularly recommend this book to anyone who likes witty romances.

long rambling predictable
the heroine is soooo full of herself it's pitiful. far too much detail of every scene & episode that there is no excitement or anticipation. I gave up at chapter 17... of 55!
