This book delivered everything it promised and more!! A lovely rom-com with great romance and great comedy, tension and plot twists. It's pace is also perfect! With the tension and speed growing each chapter as much that, by the end, you can't put it down!!

if you plan to read this book because you're attracted to mystery murder, i am sorry to break it to you but this is not the type of content you're looking for. it is just a silly fun book you can read when you're in the same mood as when watching some funny sitcom. i knew exactly what i was getting into (in fact this is the kind of book i've been wanting to read since a couple months ago) so i think that's why, unlike other reviewers, i actually had a good time reading the book.

maybe one of the only things i disliked was... nathan.

yeah, he is adorable and he's meddy's soulmate and future husband

but i was expecting to see some kind of flaw coming from him. i can excuse some unbelievable details in the plot because that's the fun of it, but he was a little bit too perfect and that made his personality lowkey bland.

of course one can say that the aunties themselves don't have that much of a development neither

yet, from my point of view, i think that the whole situation of the corpse and meddy's declaration by the end, helps them to explicitly appreciate each other

overall, their connection and their funny lines is what made me love the book.

as i said, it seems to me that this is not a book one should overanalyze so i did not stop to ponder on her character. but i have to say that i relate to her a little. i am also a daughter of immigrants who has never left the nest, so i know i am going to have a hard time doing so when the time comes. that's why i can truly emphathize with her guilt of leaving her family behind.

this is, to put it briefly, this is a comedic story about the importance of family. i think anyone who wants to read it can truly have a good time doing so, as long as they're aware of that.

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!!

I absolutely adored this book. The pacing was excellent and I loved the storytelling. The authors writing is phenomenal. My only minor gripe for this book is the general lack of descriptions for characters! Some parts of the book are a bit unbelievable but given that it’s mostly a comedy, it’s easy to get past if you don’t take it too seriously. Other than that, an incredibly written story and I’m shocked I haven’t seen this book get more hype. My favorite book I’ve read in a long time! Would highly recommend. The romance was really cute and definitely enjoyed it.
