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!

A surprisingly endearing read considering the subject matter. It also requires you to release some common sense processing to enjoy it…
It  seemed very wild to me that no one once considered security cameras in the many kerfuffles that occurred in the hotel??? But that would’ve eliminated many plot points pretty quickly so I suppose it made sense to ignore that as a realistic solution.
There were moments that felt repetitive and I did feel the author wanted to do a lot within these pages that wasn’t fully developed. However, I went into this read without many expectations so it kept me entertained throughout the reading experience.

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.

Wow, that was chaotic, in a good way. It was a really fun read where every chapter you have a wtf moment. It’s giving chaotic neutral, not exactly evil but definitely not innocent of crime.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book, and I think I'd read another, even though the writing wasn't my fave. It was very conversational, which is totally accessible and fun and makes for a nice relaxing read. It's just not as much my jam. But I love a good love story, and I really liked the peak into this very female-driven world.
