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.

A rollicking wedding weekend full of hilarious moments and near misses. And of course, an accidental murder. Nothing too emotionally effective here for me but it was fun to read. It will be cool to see the Netflix adaptation!

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!

My boss, a woman in her fifties, gave this to me so I wasn't expecting much but wow! This was a super fun and easy read that made me laugh. 

Meddy as a character was sweet although a little frustrating; her fundamental misunderstanding of her family's struggles and strength, as well as how her mom and aunties care for her, got a bit tiring, but the resolution was so sweet. I loved Nathan and am hoping we get more of him in the sequel. 

The obvious stars here are Meddy's mom and aunties. They were icons and legends and I need more of them!

Looking forward to the sequel!!
