Last Tang Standing

Last Tang Standing is a 2020 debut novel by Malaysian-born author Lauren Ho, who is based in Singapore. The book follows a successful woman in her 30s who becomes the last unmarried member of her generation in her family. Parts of the novel are inspired by Ho's experiences working at a law firm.

Reception Kirkus Reviews described the novel as "a lush portrayal of Singapore life filled with vibrant characters and a lovable leading lady readers will root for."

Publishers Weekly wrote: "Ho's cute, quippy love story is sure to captivate rom-com fans."

Aleni Moore of Booklist called the novel "charming and witty," recommending it to fans of The Hating Game, Crazy Rich Asians, and "young professional women at a crossroads".

Susan Blumberg-Kason of the Asian Review of Books noted that the book "employs the same formula as the Bridget Jones books, but updated for a globalized 21st century by celebrating multiculturalism and delving into serious subjects like filial piety and intermarriage."
