Blog Tour: Dial A for Aunties - Jesse Q. Sutanto

 


Dial A for Aunties

Jesse Q. Sutanto
Genre: Adult, Contemporary, Rom-Com
Publisher: Berkley
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Goodreads
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?

One Old, One New features two books - one old, one new, which are connected in some way. Today, I am sharing two books about grief and loss. Both of these are middle grades, where families are trying to heal after the death of their mother.

Five Star Friday: March 2021



Five Star Friday is my version of the monthly wrap-up. On the first Friday of each month, I will share my five-star reads from the previous month. Fingers crossed, I have lots of books to tell you about.

Where did March go? My reading lagged a little due to vacation and training (audiobooks took a hard dip), but I still managed to finish 33 books, and 6 earned the full 5-stars from me.
