While singlish is not my fav diction to have to read an entire book in + shallow party characters with closed off inner minds, it was a pretty clear portrait of misogyny + the power of women and femininity and how it all comes down to the male gaze. The power balance n relationship between male & female are illustrated pretty well - the saving grace of this book for me. Also of class difference!
