Description
You get 4 meddling Asian aunties coming to the rescue!
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 inadvertently 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 the 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 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?

3,6Bon livre, mais un peu trop d'absurdités et de revirement de situation a mon goût
4.25☆'sI bought this series after being recommended them. After only a chapter or two, I knew I was going to love them. There was something in every chapter that made me smile or laugh out loud, having to read sections to my family, who also laughed along. I loved the family dynamics, the bickering between the Aunties mixed with the loyalty of having each others back when something major happened. The mixup in language, along with the meanings through generations, was hilarious to read. I'm so pleased I chose these books and have already got book two out ready to start tomorrow!A brilliant choice as the first read of the year ♡
2.5 stars rounded to 3 stars. This was a book club read-a-along. Everyone was mad at me including myself because we thought this would be a mystery instead of people running around and nothing happening. oops.I really wish I could've liked this book. But maybe the author could've had the MC actually grow a backbone and develop her own personality in the story instead about worrying what her mom and aunts would think all the time. We had to go through so much of Meddy wanting to keep the peace and then when she finally exploded on her mom and aunts on her family dynamics, it only resulted in a monumental centimeter of growth. Even the epilogue where its revealed she moved out of her mom's place but not that far away and her mom still comes over everyday?! girl, go to therapy.Romance was a joke because the love interest was just a Hot Guy and there was nothing else to him. He was perfect and he was just perfect in everything.I appreciated the efforts from the author to bring in her personal experiences to inform the story and the Asian representation here. That's 1.5 stars right there.
