serpentskirtt 's review for:
Last Tang Standing
by Lauren Ho
This is more Bridget Jones than Crazy Rich Asians - and definitely better written than the latter. I don't know what was keeping me at a distance in this. I think it was the plotting. There were some moments that were SO funny I "laughed audibly", to borrow a term from my friend. However, I just wasn't riveted by it and felt kind of meh about it.
This is supposed to be a self-discovery/romance, and I think the plot fails in both of those modes. There is simply too much extra stuff and too many characters to service its goals. I found myself very confused by Linda because I truly thought she was Helen and I was like, wait, isn't this character supposed to be gay? The romance is far more developed with the one you know she's not going to end up with rather than the one she does, and that is just a sin to me.
Back to reading Dramione fanfic for me.
