I don't know why I was expecting the plot to focus less on the murder, and more on the romance, but even though I was surprised by this, I still had a great time reading this book. As over-the-top as the whole story was, I was so invested in how Meddy and the Aunties were going to pull off this cover up!! And then when Nathan showed back up?? Like things couldn't get any more stressful for Meddy at this wedding! All the while I could hear the Aunties bickering with each other, admonishing Meddy when she was curt with someone and telling her to "be more respectful" like they weren't all at their wit's end carting around a dead body all weekend!! I know it was in the process of being turned into a Netflix movie, and I can't find anything about a premiere date, but I really hope it's still happening! I could 100% envision the whole film!
