I picked this up on a whim and didn't realize it was the last of the series, I think I'd have enjoyed it more if I'd read the middle book as well. I had a really hard time suspending my disbelief at the entire premise, frankly, although it did have a few good lines. The premise:

a supposed mafia leader gives out the WRONG envelope for New Year?

I cannot.

A fun read, though I feel it was the weakest of the series. While we got a lot of great backstory and character development among the aunties, I feel like we learned next to nothing new about Meddy. And why did we not get more Nathan?? I'm glad that I saw this series out to the end, and would still recommend the entire thing, but the first book was definitely far and away my favorite and could have been a stand alone. One of my biggest complaints in this book was the entire

pregnancy storyline thrown in at the end. I feel like it came out of nowhere and didn't do anything to move the plot forward, other than to let us know that the aunties will be doting on a grandchild post-series.

The four aunties are certainly gems and some of my favorite fictional characters!

I’m probably rating this higher than it deserves, but I enjoyed it as much as I have the previous ones in this series. The characters continue to entertain, and I am crossing my fingers for another one to follow 👏🏻
