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.
