Beschreibung

"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 NPR's Best Books of 2021! 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?

TW: sexuelle Belästigung, Rassismus, Tod/Mord Ich habe einfach alles an diesem Buch geliebt: die schrulligen, liebenswerten Charaktere, die witzig-spannende Story und allen voran Nathan fucking Chan. Ich will ihn heiraten. Und die Aunties auch. Großes Kino.

Es que todavía no sé que escribir, pero lo único que diré es: Caótico. Hay varios asuntos que se pudieron solucionar desde el principio pero tengo que repetirme a mi misma que es ficción y que pues, tiene que pasar todo lo que NO debería pasar. Tuvo algo de comedia y al principio me dió vibes de ‘Son como niños’ versión familia indonesa/china. No podría definir ni el género del libro porque son muchas cosas a la vez. ¿Sabes cuando quieres hacer muchas cosas al mismo tiempo? Es algo así y no sé que pensar ni qué opinar por los momentos. Lo único que puedo decir es: Que caótico todo lo que pasó, qué acaba de pasar y “que”.

This was ridiculous, unrealistic and I loved every second of it.

3,5 abgerundet, da mir das Ende mit maureen und der Braut nicht gefallen hat. Das war irgendwie so gezwungen und random sowas jetzt noch rein zubauen ansonsten (wäre das nicht passiert) hätte ich auf 4 Sterne aufgerundet

4.5 ⭐️ In the first two chapters, I struggled a bit with getting into the story. But after that? I was cry-laughing about Meddy and her aunts, the "murder" and the mishaps and the wedding shenanigans. The romance part in here is very subtle and as it is a second-chance story, we mostly hear about the love interest through flashbacks and descriptions from the past, so I wasn't 1000% on board with the love story as I felt like there wasn't any real rekindling or a new spark there. But also, you definitely should not read this book for the romance anyways, and rather for the antics on how to get rid of a body and cover up an accidental murder.

5+⭐ - PLEASE do yourself a favor by picking this book too! With all the messy and especially funny drama going on until the very end, it has truly been one of the most joyful reading experiences I've ever had
