I wasn't ready to love this book as much as I did! It was genuinely laugh out loud funny. I never knew where this story was going, which made it an exciting read. I love that there's discussion questions in the back, making it a great choice for a buddy read or book club. I could tell Jesse Q. Sutanto put a lot of heart and personal experience in this book. I'm a big fan of all of the Indo Chinese cultural references and every character felt authentic. I can't wait to read the sequel!

Also the author mentioned a Netflix movie adaptation! I haven't seen any status updates besides Netflix having the rights so I hope it gets made, because I would love that!

Crazy Rich Asians meets Weekend at Bernies in this hilarious wedding hi-jinx rom com! Meddy is a wedding photographer who accidentally kills her blind date and calls on her mom and three aunts to help her hide the body. Nathan is her college ex who just so happens to own the hotel that the wedding Meddy and her family are working that weekend. This book is absolutely adorable! Between the hilarious aunts and crazy chemistry between Nathan and Meddy theres a little something for everyone. Do I think this book has any semblance of reality? No. Is it a fun cute read anyways? Hell yeah!

Great read!

Really funny and I love the family dynamics! I laughed a lot with this book, wich doesn't happen a lot for me with books. I loved the main characters a lot.

I do have to say, English is my 3rd language and I had to look up a few words. The author uses really 'fancy' words sometimes in English, but I didn't know what those meant.

I recommend this book to anyone, esp. If you have a reading slump!
