The aunties praise Meddy for being such a good daughter and for being so polite and smart while they're literally hiding a dead body. Then they criticize and get mad at her - not for murder or anything - but because she touched the dead body. What a fantastic family.

I don't know why I was expecting the plot to focus less on the murder, and more on the romance, but even though I was surprised by this, I still had a great time reading this book. As over-the-top as the whole story was, I was so invested in how Meddy and the Aunties were going to pull off this cover up!! And then when Nathan showed back up?? Like things couldn't get any more stressful for Meddy at this wedding! All the while I could hear the Aunties bickering with each other, admonishing Meddy when she was curt with someone and telling her to "be more respectful" like they weren't all at their wit's end carting around a dead body all weekend!! I know it was in the process of being turned into a Netflix movie, and I can't find anything about a premiere date, but I really hope it's still happening! I could 100% envision the whole film!

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!!
