Dial A for Aunties is so funny, and I liked it. It was entertaining, and the writing was easy to follow. The descriptions were vivid enough to feel like I was there with Meddy and her aunts. The characters were written well, and I felt like I could relate to the family dynamic. Finally, the plot twists were insane and just kept on coming. The only downside was that I felt like everything was rushed, and the ending felt a bit incomplete, but I hope it gets fully resolved in the second book.

Do not go into this book with realistic expectations. I really went into it with zero expectations and not knowing much about it, which is how I prefer to read. And I was pleasantly surprised by how much I laughed and couldn't stop reading to see what happens next. Is it absurd and unrealistic? Absolutely!! Personally, I think this book is pure campy goodness. Enjoy it for the wild, hilarious ride it is and don't take it too seriously! A blast of a time, embrace the chaos!!

ahhhh i loved this book it was so much fun! it doesn't take itself too seriously but it's not really corny or cringey. it's the romantic comedy wacky murder mystery that people are nostalgic over these days, with the over-the-top family dynamics from the 90s/early 2000s, except with an asian american spin. i thought it was so fun; i read 70% of it in one day because i was so excited to read the next plot twist/new conundrum. my only qualm is that the maureen storyline is a biiiiit corny, but not enough to crucify the book over. i'm really glad it's a series and it's becoming a netflix movie because it played out in my head like a movie. also i will be very sensitive to who they cast as Nathan bc i'm in love w him!!!
