Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Dial A for Aunties

This larger than life story will captivate your heart from the very beginning. A blind date gone awry leaves Meddie with a dead body. She doesn’t know what to do, so she calls her mom and three aunties to help her. The women have to navigate working the biggest wedding of their career, and figuring out what to do with a dead body… this book really takes you on an adventure through a Chinese-Indo wedding and all that goes along with it. I really loved the representation of a strong family who will literally do anything for each other, as well as such strong characters and plot line. I would really recommend this book!

Ok this book is out there and over the top. Most of the time I don’t like books where it seems soooo unrealistic and unrelatable . When I think, no way in hell would this happen in real life that’s usually the mark of a book I wouldn’t like (I mean unless I am specific reading a genre like fantasy or sci-fi where it is supposed to be unrealistic) . HOWEVER, this book is sooo outlandish that it works.

I read this really quick because I didn’t want to leave the family and I am excited to see that there will be a sequel. I really loved seeing the family dynamics and that the author comes from a big family with similar dynamics. I liked learning about the Chinese-Indo culture and I loved how the language was woven throughout.

The characters were lovable and the plot moves along very nicely. Most of the time you’re rolling your eyes at the antics they get themselves in and you’re laughing at what the aunties find important in a situation. This is a great quick read.
