Last Tang Standing bu Lauren Ho - 413 pages
"At thirty-three, Andrea Tang is living the dream: She has a successful career as a lawyer, a posh condo, and a clutch of fun-loving friends who are always in the know about Singapore's hottest clubs. All she has to do is make law partner, and her life will be perfect. And if she's about to become the lone unmarried member of her generation in the Tang clan--a disappointment her meddling Chinese-Malaysian family won't let her forget--well, she doesn't need a man to complete her.
Yet when a chance encounter with charming, wealthy entrepreneur Eric Deng offers her a glimpse of an exciting, limitless future, Andrea decides to give Mr. Right-for-her-family a chance. Too bad Suresh Aditparan, her office rival and the last man her family would approve of, keeps throwing a wrench in her plans. Now Andrea can't help but wonder: In the endless tug-of-war between pleasing others and pleasing herself, is there room for everyone to win?"

Welp. This book was somewhat entertaining. It was easy and breezy, and Andrea was fairly relatable and funny. I did enjoy it at first, but as you can probably guess, the plot is extremely predictible. Like, continously rolling my eyes predictible. This is a romance, so you know there is going to be a happy ending, but dear Lord, the path the author took to end up at that point became so annoying and frustrating to me.
I firmly believe there are readers for every book, but in my opinion, you're not missing much by skipping this one.
