Publisher Description
Crazy Rich Asians meets Bridget Jones's Diary in this funny and irresistible debut novel about the pursuit of happiness, surviving one's thirties intact, and opening oneself up to love.
At thirty-three, Andrea Tang is living the dream: She has a successful career as a lawyer, a posh condo, and a clutch of fun-loving friends who are always in the know about Singapore's hottest clubs. All she has to do is make law partner, and her life will be perfect. And if she's about to become the lone unmarried member of her generation in the Tang clan--a disappointment her meddling Chinese-Malaysian family won't let her forget--well, she doesn't need a man to complete her.
Yet when a chance encounter with charming, wealthy entrepreneur Eric Deng offers her a glimpse of an exciting, limitless future, Andrea decides to give Mr. Right-for-her-family a chance. Too bad Suresh Aditparan, her office rival and the last man her family would approve of, keeps throwing a wrench in her plans. Now Andrea can't help but wonder: In the endless tug-of-war between pleasing others and pleasing herself, is there room for everyone to win?

Cute!
This book is a cute romcom book. I was invested into the life of Andrea who is a 34 year old single lawyer from Chinese Descent living in Singapore. I got to get introduced to the Singaporean culture and laugh at the inside jokes throughout the book. Andrea had pressures from all over to get married , be a partner at a corporate law firm and have children. This book is the ultimate story that can go across cultures and generations about a woman finding herself and going after what she try wants in life. It is written as a diary in which I appreciated the format to give us insight into the thoughts of Andrea. I didn’t realize that lawyers worked a lot of long hours for their billings. It’s was a sweet read for the Summer that I enjoyed. Especially after having visited the city state recently. Singapore rocks! I’m looking forward to read more books from this author.
