Meddy is set up on a date by her mother, the date goes horribly wrong and her date winds up dead. She enlists the help of her aunties to hide the body, but at the same time they have a wedding to work at. They arrive at the wedding venue, where Meddy finds that her ex boyfriend is the manager of the resort. The wedding starts going wrong very quickly, with drunk groomsmen and stolen goods while Meddy is also trying to hide the body, and rekindle her love with her ex. There are so many twists in the plot that I did not see coming, which kept me wanting more.
Personally I would like to have had a bit more development on the aunties as I didn't feel like I truly knew them, but that might be developed on in the second book.

Honestly, I didn't have a whole lot to go on when I picked this up. I had seen blurbs about it only a handful of times and knew very little about the plot. Y'all, if you need a good laugh, you must pick up Dial A for Aunties. I haven't cackled this many times while reading a book in a really, really long time. And I mean cackled.
This book was clever, hilarious, creative, and just what I needed after several disappointing books in a row. The aunties reminded me just the tiniest bit of Crazy Rich Asians with their goofy escapades - but truly, if you look past the hilarity, what you'll find is a really precious family that supports each other no matter what (even if it includes hiding a dead body)! The strong women and their love for one another was the best part.
I kind of like the fact that looking back, it's not the romance that I'm remembering the most (though that part is adorable too), but the women. They're the reason to read this book. And there's a sequel coming out? YES PLEASE. I can't wait.
