I thought Jesse Q. Sutanto's novel Dial A for Aunties was a hoot and a half. She's back again with a sequel Four Aunties and a Wedding (#1, 074). This time Meddy is the bride, but things certainly aren't going as expected!
Being in the wedding business, Meddy has seen some pretty messed up ceremonies, so in order to make hers go as smoothly as possible, she insists that her Ma and the Aunties be family only for her own wedding, and enjoy the festivities to the max. That's fine with the Aunties, who introduce Meddy and her groom-to-be Nathan to another family-run wedding planning business. Staphanie and her uncles and grandmother seem to be the ideal solution for their destination wedding at Christ College Cambridge. With the Aunties planning their own fabulous outfits, they're too busy practicing their British English to pay much attention to anything else. Meddy is just freaking out about her own wedding, as expected. That is, until she accidentally discovers that her wedding planners are mafia using it as a cover to carry out a hit. Who are they planning to take out, and how can Meddy and the Aunties stop them?
The path of true love never does run smoothly, but this is way, way too much! It was so much fun, I would have gobbled it up all in one sitting if I could have. Put aside some quality time to enjoy this over-the-top romp!
