Status Updates From Beauty Queens Of Bishan

1. bringing your anorexic daughter to a beauty pageant is an inherently horrible idea
2. is the author trying to frame starving yourself to look skinny for a beauty contest while PREGNANT as a "my body my choice" thing?? or at least smth up for debate?? Why is this even a question wt

Considering this book contains both 1. Bishan and 2. rich people I half expect RI to be mentioned at some point but I guess it's a blessing if it isn't

- tara being asked for a talent and volunteering to recite Shakespeare is so me fr.
- ik she's meant to be shallow but april not letting her daughter go to canoe camp bc she wants to be a stage mom genuinely pmo
- why does the one gay character keep describing men as DELICIOUS

"That accent was a mystery to Gurpreet. Tara had been born in Jakarta, studied in Singapore, read law at the National University of Singapore and done a post-graduate course at Harvard which was surely in the United States. Where did the British accent come from?"
