Dial A for Aunties

The premise of this book is so much fun. A young woman accidentally murders her blind date and then her aunties come to the rescue to get rid of the body. In the meantime, the young woman's college sweetheart appears and things get even more complicated. What a romp!

Meddy is a photographer in a catering business with her mom and her aunties. After her mom lines up a blind date for her on a dating app, Meddy finds herself in a nightmare experience that ends with the accidental death of her date. In a panic, she puts the body in the trunk and runs to her family for help. In addition to the task of getting rid of a body, the family is catering a very important wedding. Meddy runs into Nathan, her college love, who runs the hotel at which the wedding is taking place. Shenanigans ensue.

Meddy, her mom, and her aunts are highly entertaining characters. They bicker and say inappropriate things in situations, but the love and loyalty between them is heartwarming. Their adventures in disposing of a body become a bit farcical as the story progresses, but the reading experience is still quite enjoyable.

Personally, I found that the story got a little too ridiculous in the second half of the book. There was just a bit too much going on, and all of it was highly unbelievable. Hence the three star rating.
