This was my second book by Ms. Sutanto, and I thought Dial A for Aunties was solid, but I liked the writing style more in this one. I thought it was really creepy, and I was so incredibly stressed out by the mom's boyfriend. I did feel like

the ending was a little abrupt and kind of got the writer out of a tight bind, which was a bit unsatisfying.

I also wanted a little more info about the gal

who died from the drug thing.
