tammyhai 's review for:
Last Tang Standing
by Lauren Ho
I really wanted to like this one. But I couldn't.
The comparisons to Bridget Jones and Crazy Rich Asians were accurate, however our heroine lacked the charm of Bridget and her Singaporean crew were too obnoxious to be likable. The only redeemable character was Suresh and at times only marginally.
The plot itself was predictable, tiresome, and littered with cultural references that usually I would get really excited about but then was explained so it no longer felt like a cool special club us Asians belonged to.
Again, I really, really wanted to like this one. But I just couldn't.
