A review by oashackelford
Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto

5.0

Meddelin Chan has a pretty boring life. She doesn't date because she is still hung up on her college boyfriend, and she still lives with her mom doing wedding photography for the family business. Her life is about to get a lot more exciting, though, and not in a fun way. When her mom sets her up on a blind date, and that blind date insinuates that he is going to have his way with Meddy, whether she likes it or not, she tases him. Unfortunately he was driving at the time, and said tasing causes their car to crash. Now he is dead, and Meddy, with the help of her Ma and Aunties, has to get rid of the body before anyone finds out.

I think this is one of the more unique books that I have read in a long time. The plot is very carefully thought out and funny. You never once think of a super obvious solution that could have solved everything. Every problem they run into is a genuine problem that is going to get them caught.

I think that the dynamic between Meddy and the Aunts is so funny, and I am grateful it exists because it puts them all into increasingly dicey situations.
