This is my first book from Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan. Our main heroine in this book is 26 year old Jazzy, born and living in Singapore, But Jazzy doesn’t want to just marry anyone, especially not the Asian boys she keeps seeing in the clubs, or the ones that are so traditional and bring her mum soup in the mornings. She wants to marry an English Man, become rich, move abroad and have his babies.
This was a quick Chick-Lit, written in Singlish, an English-based patois that Singaporeans speak to each other, I found it very different to anything I have read before.
I knew before I went into it that it was loosely based on Jane Austin's Emma, but I am not a huge fan of classic novels so I went into this mostly blind.
The problem for me was I didn't enjoy the main character and I struggled with a lot of the Singlish. Other than that it was a fun, quick read.
