Last Tang Standing by Lauren Ho
4.0

This was fun! I enjoyed the plot overall which is definitely more relatable to me than the world of Crazy Rich Asians. The main character is not necessarily likeable the whole book and at certain points I was like "you guys are drinking to the level and purpose of being alcholics. Please don't sweep this under the rug" which...isn't dealt with AS THOROUGHLY as I hoped but it is addressed. The romance triangle was particularly interesting--having the main character balance what her mother NEEDS/DEMANDS of her with who she wants but is not available. I also though the work dynamic of promotions added another element to make things very complicated!
