Four Aunties and a Wedding
by Jesse Q. Sutanto
And the Auntie fun continues!
The second Aunties book was just as fun as the first one. All the hijinks and shenanigans you could ask for!
I definitely think the first one is still my favorite - only because I felt bad the whole time reading this one that Meddy's wedding was the setting - and it was basically about to be ruined. But the Aunties made up for most of it. Specifically Intoxicated Aunties. :)
I did actually notice more of how Sutanto peppered her family customs and traditions throughout - more so in this one than the last one (probably because a wedding is all about family tradition!) and I LOVED how she showed how just because you are Asian, your customs and cultural differences are so varied depending not only on where you were born, but also where you have lived. It was added into the narrative so well and so interesting!
I'm pretty sure that mafia, kidnapping, getting stoned, and tackling people at your wedding are NOT traditional wedding behaviors, but I mean - it's all in good fun just the same! The Aunties are wildly over the top in the best of ways and I will never tire of them. Don't take it too seriously - enjoy the ride and have fun. I cannot wait for Meddy and Nathan to have babies... the next book should be a riot!
