Summary

The international best seller.

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.

"Last Tang Standing is a hilarious transcontinental romp filled with characters that crackle off the page. 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?" (Andie J. Christophe, USA Today best-selling author of Not That Kind of Guy)

"Your new favourite singleton is here and her name is Andrea Tang! Lauren Ho's irresistible Last Tang Standing sparkles with that perfect match of hilarity and heart on every page.... You’ll fall in love with this warm, witty and winning tale." (Aimee Agresti, author of Campaign Widows)

"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 best-selling author of The Flatshare)

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.

Although slightly silly at times, this was an uplifting, easy listen- I would recommend to anyone that enjoys a rom-com

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.

Very good narration but the story was a little basic. Predictable ending. Fun nonetheless.
