andra_mihaela_s's review against another edition
This novel doesn't know what it wants to be...the tagline is cosy mystery but half the story is about Meddy's past with her ex-boyfriend when she desperately "loves" him but cannot bring herself to introduce him to her aunties due to a fear of a family course...well...let me tell you: for me this type of heroine isn't great...far from it actually.
I understand she needs to be easily influenced and guided by people so that her aunts can be such a force in her life, but the whole drama of "I love you but I cannot be with you because reasons while I keep you in the dark about everything " doesn't work for me... :(
The 2nd thing I didn't enjoy, was the whole thing with the murder...well,...we have a ridiculous motif as to why Meddy ended up with this guy dead, but transforming that "funny situation" in an attack so fast..well...not my cup of tea either.
Don't get me wrong, the aunties were amazing and I really wanted a plot in which they did this type of thing before to protect themselves or something (a wasted opportunity in my opinion) but they aren't enough to keep me reading :(
hope this review is helpful to someone in deciding if they should continue reading this book or not.
