Last Tang Standing by Lauren Ho
4.0

Andrea Tang is in her 30s, a successful lawyer, living her life the best she could, fashionable and hilarious! Her goal is to be made partner in her law firm and she does not need a man to fulfil her but not according to her nosy relatives that sees and monitors her move. With all the dramas in her personal life, her work plus her friends’ lives, Andrea is in for a roller coaster ride.

Last Tang Standing a story of love, friendship, family dramas and responsibilities. It is a typical Asian story of family meddling into your affairs. Not just in Singapore / Malaysia culture but as a Filipino, I can say this also happens in our culture and same is true for children to repay back their parents for all the sacrifices they made. It causes frictions in mother-daughter relationships but in the story it was sorted out in the end out of love and respect for each other. It is also refreshing to read Asian setting and characters that you can relate and empathize. The characters are witty, funny and down to earth. Though it was a slow start in the beginning and I already guess the ending, I still enjoyed reading this book that made me laugh out loud.
