"Sutanto brilliantly infuses comedy and culture into the unpredictable rom-com/murder mystery mashup as Meddy navigates familial duty, possible arrest and a groomzilla. I laughed out loud and you will too."--USA Today (four-star review) "A hilarious, heartfelt romp of a novel about--what else?--accidental murder and the bond of family. This book had me laughing aloud within its first five pages... Utterly clever, deeply funny, and altogether charming, this book is sure to be one of the best of the year!"--Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read One of PopSugar's "42 Books Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2021"! What happens when you mix 1 (accidental) murder with 2 thousand wedding guests, and then toss in a possible curse on 3 generations of an immigrant Chinese-Indonesian family? 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?

honestly this started off as 3 stars but very very quickly redeemed itself for me. the plot was super fun and each twist and turn was incredible.

Errrrr a love hate relationship with this book, i honestly felt annoyed at how kaypoh the aunties actually are but they are indeed so chinese-indonesian (being one myself)

Okay this book has the most ridiculous plot and I love it. It is hilarious and sappy and wonderful all at the same time. So. Much. Fun.

This was such a fun listen! The culture and tradition wrapped throughout the light hearted comedy was a perfect touch. The characters really come to life and you can see the whole situation unfold. No spice but tons of giggles! Audiobook was great!

This book slapped, absolutely loved it. After the first act I was so hooked - a quick and utterly delightful read! The morbid humor is perfectly played 😂

Funny, feel good and a little bit ridiculous. Just what you need for a fun summer read.
