Sarong Party Girls by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan
4.0
Very hard to shelve. Where should it go? A comedy of manners? Could be.
Fluff? Definitely NO.
*****
Sex and the Sity (a la Singapore)? Bridget Jones with some sad and bleak undertones?
Possibly.
This was nothing if not educational and eye-opening! And I truly mean it.
Seemingly fluffy entertainment but you soon realise as the book sucks you in that even though it seems to swim on the glittery and shallow surface, there are some dark and muddy undercurrents.
The cover blurb mentions Emma, but if you are looking for any type of resemblance to a Jane Austen character, the MC, Jazzy reminds me more of a modern Lucy Steele or maybe Isabella Thorpe.
Fluff? Definitely NO.
