I received an e-arc of the book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is perfect if you're looking for a laugh out loud cosy adventure mystery.
I was hoping for a ridiculous wonderful story, and it absolutely delivered.
Meddy and her husband arrive in Jakarta to spend New Year's with her loud generous family, and are all caught up in the celebrations with full fervour. That is until Second Aunt's childhood love and a mob boss comes knocking. From there chaos erupts and continues to snowball.
I had so much fun reading this, and flew through it. It's the third and final book in the series and for me it left too many threads open to be fully satisfying. Some plot twists also feel dropped in unnaturally without any of the usual hints earlier on you'd expect, and this took away from the overall experience a little for me.
However, this was still first and foremost a very enjoyable time, and I'd really recommend it.
