I mean if I’m laughing as the heroine is attempting to deal with a dead body (no, he didn’t really deserve to die but it truly was an accident and he was an asshole who wouldn’t listen to the word ‘No!”), then cackling as the Aunties and Ma all rally round even as they’re debating the actual superstition about funerals and Chinese weddings and I inhale a 250 page book in one day – something is entertaining me and doing it well.įor those who worry about how the aunties speak, read the author’s note at the beginning of the book which discusses how her own beloved relatives actually sound as they converse in a language in which they aren’t fluent – which is actually the third language they speak. Things go crazy AF.” Add an old romance flame and some self examination and discovery and there’s “Dial A for Aunties.” But there’s so much more to the story than “Woman accidentally kills man. I was clutching my stomach and laughing so much it hurt. The description of “Crazy Rich Asians” crossed with “Weekend at Bernie’s” about says it all. I had a blast with “The Obsession” so of course I had to grab the chance to read this arc. Is it possible to escape murder charges, charm her ex back into her life, and pull off a stunning wedding all in one weekend? It’s the biggest job yet for their family wedding business-”Don’t leave your big day to chance, leave it to the Chans!”-and nothing, not even an unsavory corpse, will get in the way of her auntie’s perfect buttercream cake flowers.īut things go from inconvenient to downright torturous when Meddy’s great college love-and biggest heartbreak-makes a surprise appearance amid the wedding chaos. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it is accidentally shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy, her Ma, and aunties are working, at an island resort on the California coastline.
When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body.
What happens when you mix 1 (accidental) murder with 2 thousand wedding guests and then toss in a possible curse on 3 generations of an immigrant Chinese-Indonesian family? You get 4 meddling Asian aunties coming to the rescue!
