Dial a for aunties book review6/30/2023 I’m not often a fan of second chance tropes because I often find the original parting hard to forgive but I did love the way Jesse Sutanto framed Meddy and Nathan’s. The romance in this book was the perfect amount. They hit every sweet spot of being a dichotomy of problematic but sweet, but the real winning quality is that their interactions are hilarious. I could easily have read this in one sitting if real life would have stopped interfering as much as an Asian Auntie. Honestly, the plot was chaotic and over the top but my gosh, was it entirely entertaining. Admittedly, I sat there with a frown thinking this isn’t the light romcom that I ordered. I went into this without reading the blurb and I genuinely wouldn’t recommend that because I was incredibly shocked when things began spirally for Meddy. This is just one of those books that as a reader, I couldn’t help but fall in love with. She calls her Chinese-Indonesian Aunties for help. After accidentally killing her blind date, Meddy does the logical thing. Set up on a blind date by her interfering mother, Meddy is thinking how much worse can her love life get if her mother has to rope strangers in from the internet.
