Had me giggling and kicking my feet like a DCOM but with more swearing, murder, and family anxiety.

This was an enjoyable and quick read. I liked the main character, Meddy, quite a bit, despite finding the entire premise of the death behind the entire plot to be completely unbelievable. I think the aunties were all fully thought out characters, too, and would've liked to learn more about their family wedding business! There were a few spots, generally in the last quarter of the book, that felt like we made some pretty big leaps in dialogue and character thinking that didn't jacket in the first 3/4s of the book. So those made it feel a little like the book was rushing to consider, which isn't my favorite thing to have happen. Despite that, though, I will look to read the rest of the series

A lighthearted, easy, fun read. I enjoyed Meddy’s character and found her complicated relationship to her (immigrant) family very relatable. When we get swept into the craziness of a murder at a wedding, I kept reading for every twist and turn - only to feel like the end was a very unbelievable wrap up. I also felt that her previous relationship break with her ex-boyfriend was far too easily resolved, but they seem cute so I’m going to read the sequel about them.

I love the authors so much. She is my favorite! I definitely want to keep reading the series. I felt like the plot development wasn’t as strong as her other later works, she has grown so much as an author. I loved the twist of the ending side story.

squirmosauruslex's review against another edition

I couldn’t get past the initial premise that the protagonist made such bad/ dumb choices. It made it hard for me to buy into the rest of the story.

It was cute, as I imagined it unfolding like a Clue-style movie. In fact, i would not be surprise if this is optioned for a miniseries or movie. I was a bit annoyed by how it was packaged up so nicely in the end. Maybe I needed a LIIIIITTLE more, something to kind of acknowledge the seriousness of it all. Still a quick, fun(?) read. (Note: I'm also in a sensitive emotional place right now, so maybe sitting in a hospital waiting room reading about a funny manslaughter adventure wasn't the right thing for me in the moment.)
