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

Perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Katharine McGee, and Elizabeth Gilbert.
