Sarong Party Girls by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan

5.0

Jane Austen's "Emma" meets Singapore's modern dating scene, written in "singlish," a unique Singaporean English slang. It was a fascinating look into the subculture derogatorily known as "sarong party girls," young Singaporean women who exclusively date white men in the hopes of improving their economic and social standing and creating the ultimate status symbol: the half-Asian, half-white "Chanel baby."
