Despite the number of potential trigger warnings, this book is NOT what meets the eye and was quite the entertaining read!

Had me giggling and kicking my feet like a DCOM but with more swearing, murder, and family anxiety.

Great read!

Really funny and I love the family dynamics! I laughed a lot with this book, wich doesn't happen a lot for me with books. I loved the main characters a lot. 

I do have to say, English is my 3rd language and I had to look up a few words. The author uses really 'fancy' words sometimes in English, but I didn't know what those meant. 

I recommend this book to anyone, esp. If you have a reading slump!

This book was so fun to read, and I loved the pacing.
This story had so much love winding through it in so many ways. From Meddy and her aunts, Nathan, Jacqueline, and everyone in between. I can't wait to see what happens next. With all the love you almost forget this involves a dead body. Meddy and Nathan are adorable, and I really loved their story.
What I would describe as a rom-com Weekend at Bernie's.


Crying score: none

I love the family of women and how Meddelin’s confidence grows by the end. the barrage of obstacles they face with the wedding and hiding the body are fun to read about, and the pages fly by so fast. I also like that, while this is a rom-com, the romance isn’t the main thing—the aunties are. as they should be.
