Description
When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it is accidentally shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy, her Ma, and aunties are working, at an island resort on the California coastline. It’s the biggest job yet for their family wedding business—“Don’t leave your big day to chance, leave it to the Chans!”—and nothing, not even an unsavory corpse, will get in the way of her auntie’s perfect buttercream cake flowers. But things go from inconvenient to downright torturous when Meddy’s great college love—and biggest heartbreak—makes a surprise appearance amid the wedding chaos. Is it possible to escape murder charges, charm her ex back into her life, and pull off a stunning wedding all in one weekend?

Dial A For Aunties was a wild and fun ride and I enjoyed every minute of it 😁 You know how some books aren’t so serious but still make your heart jump with all the fun you had while reading it? Well, this book was that! It always amazes me to read stories about cultures that are different than mine but still same. This story represents Indonesian-Chinese culture and it was so much fun to see the similarities between it and Indian culture; right from wedding traditions to behaviour of Aunties, and how protective they are of their children.
