Publisher Description
The International Bestseller!
‘I absolutely adored it. It is the funniest rom-com I've read in a very long time … Andrea stole my heart … I cannot wait to get my hands on whatever Lauren Ho writes next’
Beth O’Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare
Like all good Chinese children, Andrea Tang is doing her best to fulfil all her mother’s plans for her life: she’s on track to become partner at a top law firm in Singapore, she has a beautiful apartment in the right postcode and a perfect boyfriend who is practically made of husband material.
Except that those plans are unravelling fast: there’s an unfairly attractive new lawyer out to steal her promotion, she has credit-card debt up to her eyeballs, her perfect boyfriend is now her perfect ex-boyfriend and the last single cousin in her family just got engaged, leaving her exposed to romantic meddling on all sides…
For fans of Crazy Rich Asians and Bridget Jones’s Diary comes a hilarious story of love, friendship and the most intrusive people in the world: family.
‘Andrea Tang is wise, witty, flawed and perfectly written. I adored her story, and felt so seen by it. If you loved Crazy Rich Asians you'll gobble this up!’ Laura Jane Williams, bestselling author of Our Stop
‘Both joyfully entertaining and socially perceptive, Lauren Ho’s debut is a vivid read on dating, work and family in Singapore through the lens of a brutally honest protagonist of gold. I loved it’ Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times
About the author

Her first novel, Last Tang Standing was an international bestseller and is not based on her mother. At all. Seriously.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We were instantly hooked by Lauren Ho’s irresistibly funny debut, Last Tang Standing. In it, we meet Andrea Tang, a 33-year-old Chinese lawyer who lives in Singapore. Despite Andrea being on the cusp of making partner at her high-end legal firm, all anyone in her family seems to care about is when she’ll get married and have children. Which isn’t quite at the top of her agenda. Told in sharp, snappy diary entries, Last Tang Standing is the touching story of one woman attempting to balance family, love and her career while figuring out what she really wants in life. As relatable as it is entertaining, and brimming with characters you can’t help but fall for, this is the kind of novel long summer days were made for.
