ella026 's review for:
Four Aunties and a Wedding
by Jesse Q. Sutanto
I loved the first book in this series but the second one just doesn't have the same spark or magic that hooked me in the first book. It's still pretty funny, the aunts are as always on best form and Meddy's internal reactions were hilarious. But this book veered more into unbelievable farce and second-hand embarrassment than the first. While the first one was comically overexaggerated, it still felt like a situation that could happen in reality but the second book got so ridiculous sometimes that it broke my suspension of disbelief and took me out of the book. All the drama at the wedding put more of a sad spin rather than a funny one to the book when it's the main character's wedding that's being completely ruined. I honestly felt so bad for Nathen who doesn't know what's going on for most of the book and is clearly upset that his new wife keeps disappearing with no explanation while her family are acting so bizarrely.
It's a fun read and I do love how close Meddey is to her mum and aunts, I just wish she had more fun with her husband on her wedding day but I guess she had bigger things to deal with. If you like the first book then the sequel is still worth checking out even if it doesn't reach those same highs.
