On my recent flight to Singapore, I thought it was fitting to read Sarong Party Girls by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan since this book takes place in Singapore. As I was reading this book, it reminded me a bit of Crazy Rich Asians and so I was thoroughly invested into the vivid and crazy antics Ms. Tan was able to portray with her characters.

Sarong Party Girls somewhat stays true to young Asian women in Singapore where fashion, money, glam, and social status is a must. And so Ms. Tan dives into her book as she introduces readers to Jazzy and her colorful and entertaining life that consists of social mingling and lots of partying. So of course, this book is lots of craziness to keep readers entertained as we get a small taste of what Singapore is like. And as I was finishing up this book while I was in Singapore, I can actually picture the taste and sounds of Singapore since I did find certain hotels and bars in the city to be pretentious and immediately I thought of Jazzy and her friends. But life can’t be all about money and glam, and soon Jazzy will discover that there is more to life. So if you are looking for a book that was hilarious, witty, smart, fun, fresh and insightful then this book is for you.

Jamie Brenner invites her readers to one wedding of a lifetime or in this case to three weddings of the Becker sisters. It’s always been a mother’s dream to see her daughter get married but what happens when all three of her daughters find themselves getting engaged around the same time to prominent males. Meryl Becker and her husband, Hugh knew financially that they couldn't afford three separate weddings and so why not have one big grand wedding. Well seems to be a logical plan but nothing goes as plan as chaos, secrets and everything begins to unravel. As the big day approaches, will everyone be walking down the aisle to happily ever after?

The Wedding Sisters by Jamie Brenner was a refreshing, emotional and entertaining read. Ms. Brenner charmed her readers as she struck her reader’s heart with this beautiful story that centers on family. I loved that this book allows readers to feel the raw emotional vulnerability of each family members. So if you are looking for a book where the author wrote a heartwarming tale that is a perfect weekend read then I would recommend you to read The Wedding Sisters.
