Summary

Meddy Chan has been to countless weddings， but she never imagined how her own would turn out。 Now the day has arrived， and she can't wait to marry her college sweetheart， Nathan。 Instead of having Ma and the aunts cater to her wedding， Meddy wants them to enjoy the day as guests。 As a compromise， they find the perfect wedding vendors: a Chinese-Indonesian family-run company just like theirs。 Meddy is hesitant at first， but she hits it off right away with the wedding photographer， Staphanie， who reminds Meddy of herself， down to the unfortunately misspelled name。

Meddy realizes that is where their similarities end， however， when she overhears Staphanie talking about taking out a target。 Horrified， Meddy can't believe Staphanie and her family aren't just like her own， they are The Family--actual mafia， and they're using Meddy's wedding as a chance to conduct shady business。 Her aunties and mother won't let Meddy's wedding ceremony become a murder scene--over their dead bodies--and will do whatever it takes to save her special day， even if it means taking on the mafia。

The aunties are back， fiercer than ever and ready to handle any catastrophe--even the mafia--in this delightful and hilarious sequel by Jesse Q。 Sutanto， author of Dial A for Aunties。

All the stars for this one。 I laughed out loud so many times reading this。 I think I need this one in my own collection。 I’ll never get enough of this family and their antics。

Medde and Nathan are getting married in England。 Of course everything goes wonky。 The Aunties find vendors for the wedding and after Medde and Nathan meets them， they signs off on them。 I'm so glad that Medde and Nathan got back together and now a wedding， I'm giddy。 There's something about Stephanie and her family that makes me suspicious。 Finally I was right about something。 I love the Aunties， they are hilarious。 The narrator is exactly how I imagine Medde sounds。 Her voice is cute。 I hope th Medde and Nathan are getting married in England。 Of course everything goes wonky。 The Aunties find vendors for the wedding and after Medde and Nathan meets them， they signs off on them。 I'm so glad that Medde and Nathan got back together and now a wedding， I'm giddy。 There's something about Stephanie and her family that makes me suspicious。 Finally I was right about something。 I love the Aunties， they are hilarious。 The narrator is exactly how I imagine Medde sounds。 Her voice is cute。 I hope there will be more books in this series。 。。。more

Mafia， murder and marriage？ Meddy Chan is finally getting married。 After the events of Dial A for Aunties， Meddy and her family's life can't get any more complicated。 Or can it？After realizing that the family they've hired to host her wedding are actually mobsters trying to kill someone inside the event （and after being threatened with revealing the crime Meddy committed long ago） they'll have to take action and once again resolve the chaos they've gotten themselves into。 I loved the first boo Mafia， murder and marriage？ Meddy Chan is finally getting married。 After the events of Dial A for Aunties， Meddy and her family's life can't get any more complicated。 Or can it？After realizing that the family they've hired to host her wedding are actually mobsters trying to kill someone inside the event （and after being threatened with revealing the crime Meddy committed long ago） they'll have to take action and once again resolve the chaos they've gotten themselves into。 I loved the first book; it became one of my favorites and has a place in my heart。 So when I heard about the publication of this sequel， I screamed with excitement。 I really did。 One of the aspects that continues to fascinate me about this book series， is seeing the family dynamics; how they defend and protect each other to the hilt， no matter how far they go， just to look out for each other。 Her aunties may have embarrassed her in extremes， but at the end of the day they were her family and she loved them。 This book is so fast-paced， fun and lighthearted。 Of course， there is a lot of chaos going on at the same time， so be prepared for crazy interactions and dialogue。 One aspect that could have been worked on is Nathan's presence。 I would have liked to see him actually involved with the family in the mess; covering up the crimes， acting ridiculous as a distraction， and more。 He was portrayed as the perfect man with no flaws， and I would have liked to see more realism。 I loved that the Aunties are wearing their famous komodo dragon fascinators on the cover of the book。 It was a small detail， but when I noticed it after reading the book， my heart skipped a beat。 Throughout the whole book I felt bad for Meddy。 It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life， and she spent it stressing and worrying about the mob， lying， and also away from Nathan。 Also， the fact that it was all a sham still makes me feel bad。 She won't have good pictures or be able to look back and say "That day was amazing。" There were two tiny plot twists but ones I really wasn't expecting。 One of them made me laugh too hard， I won't lie。 It's something that would happen to me。 I laughed at the right times， and I could feel various emotions while reading this book。Honestly， I still prefer the first book， but I really liked this one。 If you like chaotic family dynamics， crime， and weddings， I fully recommend both books。 You will get a good time out of them。 。。。more

3。5 | This series is ridiculous and hilarious！ I get lots of good laughs while reading it which is enjoying！ However， I didn’t love the plot of this one as much as book 1。 I also found myself a bit irritated with Meddy lying so much to Nathan。 The ending was good although I called the twist earlier on， but to be fair， I don’t read this for the mystery。 I read it for the entertainment！ I’ll certainly continue the series。

Brittany ，

These books are just so freaking funny。 I loved it so much。

Though I hadn’t read book one， I have to say this was a riotous read。Medeline and Nathan are going to marry and there’s evident concern over how the two families will get on。 Though they are both from immigrant families， they’re clearly very different。 While they both love their respective families， trying to keep both parties happy is tricky。Our first sign of things being a little strange are when Meddy’s family organise a meeting with prospective vendors （there’s a lot about this process that Though I hadn’t read book one， I have to say this was a riotous read。Medeline and Nathan are going to marry and there’s evident concern over how the two families will get on。 Though they are both from immigrant families， they’re clearly very different。 While they both love their respective families， trying to keep both parties happy is tricky。Our first sign of things being a little strange are when Meddy’s family organise a meeting with prospective vendors （there’s a lot about this process that was new to me）。 It should be a fantastic occasion， but the family they’ve arranged to work with are family in the truest sense。 Meddy’s family have to try to do everything they can to stop a mafia-hit ruining the wedding， but without alerting anyone to the problem。What follows quickly goes from slightly odd to downright bizarre。 We have kidnappings， mass druggings and nobody bats an eyelid。 By the end， everything is resolved。Perhaps this would have been more engaging if I’d read book one and knew a little more about the various family members， but it was still good fun。 。。。more

Same review as the first book。 So unrealistic and dumb but also fun。

After successfully reuniting with her college boyfriend， Nathan， Meddy Chan is now ready to settle down and marry the man she truly loves。However， things went south when Meddy found out that the vendor they contracted are planning an assassination on her wedding day。 Meddy and her aunties are all set to bring down the shady business and save the day。THOUGHTSCompared to Dial A for Aunties， I'll say that this one is more serious in terms of tackling the differences and similarities of Asian diaspo After successfully reuniting with her college boyfriend， Nathan， Meddy Chan is now ready to settle down and marry the man she truly loves。However， things went south when Meddy found out that the vendor they contracted are planning an assassination on her wedding day。 Meddy and her aunties are all set to bring down the shady business and save the day。THOUGHTSCompared to Dial A for Aunties， I'll say that this one is more serious in terms of tackling the differences and similarities of Asian diaspora experience between families。The backdrop of a wedding event feels familiar since book one also took place during a wedding where the Chans are the event organizer and service providers。 But this one is more personal since it's for Meddelin Chan。The aunties' hilarious antics and banters literally carried the entirety of the book but props also to Meddy for being a more reasonable lead in this one。What I didn't really like is the way the aunties' character development seems to be exaggerated in a way that they became the center of attention during Meddy's wedding。 I'm aware that the author is trying to present a different picture of Asian authenticity by comparing characters who aren't sharing the stereotypical characterization but there's a very fine line where the development of the aunties seems intentionally downgraded。Again， this is a personal experience that may or may not be the same when you read the book but please understand that the purpose of the author for this is to highlight that Asian diaspora experiences vary from person to person so I guess it's just right that we'll have different interpretations for this book。Overall， I still had fun reading this book and I'm planning to reread it soon with an audiobook。 What's in this book: Cozy mystery， chaotic and hilarious aunties， Asian family dynamics， diaspora experienceI highly recommend if you enjoy: Dial A for Aunties， Tita Rosie's Kitchen MysteryRATING: 3stars 。。。more

2，5 starsThis is a real hoot， but I think I'm going to quit while I'm ahead （if more books in this series appear）。 The auntie shenanigans kind of got a bit repetitive。 I know the book is meant to be fun， and it definitely was。 But I'm missing some of the characterisation。 Also， I would have walked away from this wedding about halfway through the book if I was Nathan。 2，5 starsThis is a real hoot， but I think I'm going to quit while I'm ahead （if more books in this series appear）。 The auntie shenanigans kind of got a bit repetitive。 I know the book is meant to be fun， and it definitely was。 But I'm missing some of the characterisation。 Also， I would have walked away from this wedding about halfway through the book if I was Nathan。 。。。more

What a bonkers follow up to Dial A For Aunties。 I cackled my way through this， even as had no idea what was going to happen， and happily didn’t try to figure out any plot twists。 I just went with it， and enjoyed the journey。 Look out for the aunties learning British slang， and many Komodo dragons。

Christy ，

3。5 stars。 The first book was completely over the top and it worked， but by about 2/3 of the way into this one， it lost its charm and the craziness just started to get annoying， so rounding down on this one。

Dial A for Aunties was a 5 star read for me。 I’ll give the sequel 3 stars。 I really， really loved the first book and while this one was definitely still entertaining， I felt like a bit of the magic of the first book was missing。I honestly think that the author could have totally moved on from the crime aspect of book one and focused on the culture clash between Meddy & Nathan’s families and still kept the same vibes/humor of the series successfully。 As is， the mafia plot felt a bit forced and al Dial A for Aunties was a 5 star read for me。 I’ll give the sequel 3 stars。 I really， really loved the first book and while this one was definitely still entertaining， I felt like a bit of the magic of the first book was missing。I honestly think that the author could have totally moved on from the crime aspect of book one and focused on the culture clash between Meddy & Nathan’s families and still kept the same vibes/humor of the series successfully。 As is， the mafia plot felt a bit forced and also overcrowded the plot。 It might have even worked if the other family was just working to ruin the wedding as revenge and the aunties had to go around putting out fires and trying to ensure Meddy still had a perfect day， or something。I’d definitely read another book in this series， but I’d read three more if the story pivots away from including crime subplots。 I think after two in a row， suspending belief becomes less fun and more tedious。Let's be friends！ Booktok | Bookstagram | Twitter 。。。more

3。5 - Another laugh-out-loud funny book filled with madcap antics。 The beginning was a bit slow and it was a little harder to suspend my disbelief for the events of this book compared to the first， but I was still cracking up the whole time。 Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this novel。 All opinions are， as always， my own。

I really enjoyed Dial A for Aunties， and I am highly disappointed in the sequel。 Dial A was a slightly absurd read in a fun way that I really enjoyed， and this one was just RIDICULOUS。 The plot was exhausting， truly exhausting to the point I didn’t even want to finish。 I guessed the ending at the very beginning of the book。 The aunts shenanigans weren’t fun this time around。 There was allegedly a wedding and only like three scenes with the groom。 Overall， it was a major let down with an absurd （ I really enjoyed Dial A for Aunties， and I am highly disappointed in the sequel。 Dial A was a slightly absurd read in a fun way that I really enjoyed， and this one was just RIDICULOUS。 The plot was exhausting， truly exhausting to the point I didn’t even want to finish。 I guessed the ending at the very beginning of the book。 The aunts shenanigans weren’t fun this time around。 There was allegedly a wedding and only like three scenes with the groom。 Overall， it was a major let down with an absurd （in a bad way） plot。 I would not recommend。 。。。more

Well， there's no doubt I liked the first one better， which probably says more about me。 I will always enjoy a book about a beleaguered wedding planner trying to get her life together more than a book about a bride-t0-be stressing about her overly-elaborate event。 I still enjoyed the aunties in this one but I didn't like all the worrying about pleasing the groom's parents， and making everybody happy。 I just kept wishing Meddy and Nathan had eloped， or planned a smaller， less-stressful wedding。 An Well， there's no doubt I liked the first one better， which probably says more about me。 I will always enjoy a book about a beleaguered wedding planner trying to get her life together more than a book about a bride-t0-be stressing about her overly-elaborate event。 I still enjoyed the aunties in this one but I didn't like all the worrying about pleasing the groom's parents， and making everybody happy。 I just kept wishing Meddy and Nathan had eloped， or planned a smaller， less-stressful wedding。 And I kind of hated it every time Meddy lied to Nathan， which she did a lot。 I guess all the over-the-top craziness right alongside the feelings that come with getting married didn't work for me。 I liked it， but I didn't love it。 。。。more

Very fun read if a bit far-fetched。

I wanted to like this more， the plot/the wedding and everything with Nathan is an aside in this one in favor of the auntie-antics。

Not as funny as the first book， but still cute。

This was a crazy， fun ride！ I love the Aunties and all their antics。
