I don't know why I was expecting the plot to focus less on the murder, and more on the romance, but even though I was surprised by this, I still had a great time reading this book. As over-the-top as the whole story was, I was so invested in how Meddy and the Aunties were going to pull off this cover up!! And then when Nathan showed back up?? Like things couldn't get any more stressful for Meddy at this wedding! All the while I could hear the Aunties bickering with each other, admonishing Meddy when she was curt with someone and telling her to "be more respectful" like they weren't all at their wit's end carting around a dead body all weekend!! I know it was in the process of being turned into a Netflix movie, and I can't find anything about a premiere date, but I really hope it's still happening! I could 100% envision the whole film!

I absolutely adored this book. The pacing was excellent and I loved the storytelling. The authors writing is phenomenal. My only minor gripe for this book is the general lack of descriptions for characters! Some parts of the book are a bit unbelievable but given that it’s mostly a comedy, it’s easy to get past if you don’t take it too seriously. Other than that, an incredibly written story and I’m shocked I haven’t seen this book get more hype. My favorite book I’ve read in a long time! Would highly recommend. The romance was really cute and definitely enjoyed it.

Really cute and weird and funny and totally different, just not 100% my style. The irreverent writing and bordering on fantastical plot often made it difficult for me to get into fully. I would almost call this more women's fiction than a romance, while we do get a HEA, it's the storyline that actually offers the least tension and suspense throughout. I did like Meddy's arc throughout the book, she begins to assert both herself and others in a really cool way without ever 'ruining everything' as some heroines do when placed in much less crazy circumstances!
