Okay, this book was a whole rollercoaster ride. I fell in love with the cast in the first book and was so excited to read about them again. However, I think there was just a lot going on in this one that made it difficult to stay connected to the story. Sometimes it felt a little too farfetched. On the other hand, the aunties are still some of the most lovable and funny characters ever written. I still recommend it! I just think the first book's storyline was more cohesive. And although it may be unfair to compare the two, it was slightly disappointing when this didn't live up to my expectations (that may be on me and no so much on the author.)
