520    On the edge of twenty-seven, Jazzy hatches a plan for her 
       and her best girlfriends: Sher, Imo, and Fann. Before the 
       year is out, these Sarong Party Girls will all have 
       spectacular weddings to expat ang moh-- caucasian-- 
       husbands, with Chanel babies (half-white children--the 
       ultimate status symbol) quickly to follow. Razor-sharp, 
       spunky, and cheerfully brand-obsessed, Jazzy is a woman 
       who plays to win. As she fervently pursues her quest to 
       find the right husband, this driven yet tenderly 
       vulnerable gold digger reveals the contentious gender 
       politics and class tensions thrumming beneath the shiny 
       exterior of Singapore's glamorous nightclubs and busy 
       streets, its grubby wet markets and crowded hawker 
       centers. Moving through her colorful, stratified world, 
       she realizes she cannot ignore the troubling incongruity 
       of new money and old-world attitudes that threatens to 
       crush her dreams. Can Jazzy use her cunning and good looks
       to rise up the ladder in Asia's international capital? 
       Vividly told in Singlish-- colorful Singaporean English 
       with its distinctive cadence and slang-- Sarong Party 
       Girls brilliantly captures the unique voice of this young,
       striving woman caught between worlds. With remarkable 
       vibrancy and empathy, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan brings not only 
       Jazzy, but her city of Singapore, to dazzling, dizzying 
       life.--Page 2 of cover.
