Summer reads to satiate and surpass

Last Tang standing 

Like all good Chinese children, Andrea Tang is doing her best to fulfil her mother's plans for her life: she's on track to become partner at a top Singapore law firm, she has a beautiful apartment and she's got the perfect hubby-to-be boyfriend. But a highly attractive new lawyer is trying to steal her promotion, she's maxed out her credit cards and her boyfriend's gone walkabout. Cue multiple dating problems. Funnier and deeper than Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians – and written with a wit, verve and tenderness that Kwan's novel lacked – Lauren Ho's debut is a dazzlingly dashing rom-com.
