I appreciated having a woman of color depicted as a high-powered lawyer, and the neurotic lawyer archetype might be attractive to some readers. Może to, jak bardzo inne jest życie Andrei od mojego sprawiło, że śledziłam je z takim zaciekawieniem. Before I begin, I just want to say that since many friends here have already given their amazing thoughts on the Asian culture, particularly on how the elders of southeast Asian Chinese interfere with the marriage and career of their children, I will not elaborate any further here.

I'm glad that Lauren gives her a strong character instead of the typical messed-up, deeply troubled, or 'don't understand what is going on in her life' personality.Wiesz, ja się już bałam, że powiesz, że przecież mamy palmiarnię w domu i wskażesz na tego kwiatka, który stoi przy fotelu. Andrea Tang is 33 years old - not ancient by any means, and a hard working lawyer hoping to make partner soon - but none of this matters to the hard-core traditional Chinese-Malaysian family she has. Family will also always want what's best for you and that is to eventually settle down with marriage and having offsprings later on. A recent break-up with her boyfriend leaves her as the last In her Tang clan to be married and that is highly disappointing for her family. If you want a light but equally inspiring story to read during summer, give Last Tang Standing a go.

Painfully single and well into her 30s, she's officially the last woman in her family to be in a long-term relationship and man is she feeling the family pressure.She mistakes him for the staff because of his rumpled clothing, and willingness to listen to her make fun of rich people. Andrea narrates in her diary entries how silly and irreverent some of her Chinese relatives and friends could be just so they wouldn't be disowned or disinherited.

A smart and witty depiction of navigating the world of dating, coupled with the messy (but amusing) dynamics of family life. The fact that she was so open and fearless about the thoughts she had in her head makes all the things she says and does so relatable and not hurtful in the least.Lauren was an amateur stand-up comic for two years and it was during a gig that the idea for Last Tang Standing began to germinate. You’ll fall in love with this warm, witty and winning tale of a woman learning to follow her heart–not her head–for the first time in her life!
