This is a campy, touching, light-hearted romp. The plot holes are half the fun, and the tone and humor are consistent.

5.0

this book was delightful. it was very tropey in some ways and very fast paced and within that there were probably some borderline problematic things, but it went by so fast i can't remember everything that happened. overall it was lovely to just ride the wave with and i really enjoyed the campyness of it all because we need more camp books.

I really enjoyed this one and it's highly rated for a reason. Definitely farfetched but extremely entertaining and was a fast read that I couldn't put down. I loved the focus on family and the characters of the aunties.

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

Crazy Rich Asians meets Weekend at Bernies in this hilarious wedding hi-jinx rom com! Meddy is a wedding photographer who accidentally kills her blind date and calls on her mom and three aunts to help her hide the body. Nathan is her college ex who just so happens to own the hotel that the wedding Meddy and her family are working that weekend. This book is absolutely adorable! Between the hilarious aunts and crazy chemistry between Nathan and Meddy theres a little something for everyone. Do I think this book has any semblance of reality? No. Is it a fun cute read anyways? Hell yeah!
