I lived catching up with the aunties again. Their antics never get old and still manage to make me laugh.
The plot felt very far fetchedand at times a little too silly but it's still a great Farce.
The author knows how to keep you encaptured throughout the book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A great romance book with a difference! I really enjoyed the tropes and found myself rooting for the couple! Thank you net galley for the review copy!

Although I preferred Dial A for Aunties, the sequel didn’t disappoint.

I enjoyed being back in the world of Meddy, her Ma and Aunts. They are so chaotic that they become endearing. I also love learning about the Chinese-Indonesian culture.

The plot was slightly insane but it made me laugh out loud a couple of times.

I’ll definitely read the third instalment!

This is the second book in the series. It was very funny and made me laugh out loud. The plot did become ridiculous in places. I learnt so much about the culture

After not really enjoying the first installment, it was probably a mistake to read this one. It's worse, for many of the same reasons. The plot is endlessly repetitive and predictable and the characters are paper thin. Meddie is an interminable narrator, repeating the same internal arguments ad nauseum and the humour falls flat at every turn. It was almost impossible to finish between all the unavoidable cringing and eye-rolling. Definitely not for me.

This was joyful from the first page to the last.
I had not heard of the author before and was delighted to stumble across such a witty and entertaining read.
Thank you so much to the author and publishers for this wonderful read

Finished reading the Four Aunties and a Wedding book, and was so great to be reunited with the characters from the first book in this series. So many laugh out moments, chaotic and unexpected story!

Thank you to Netgalley for letting me read this book for free unsolicited.
I haven’t read the first book in the Aunties series but I didn’t need to! You get told what’s happened before and it helped me understand what had happened.

This book is hilarious, from the over the top Aunties to the wedding drama I flew through it because it was such a fun book to read!

Meddy and Nathan are a wonderful couple and it was lovely following them to the altar as their wedding is planned and the ceremony itself. There was a moment I thought they were going to break up and I was so invested I didn’t want them to I actually got worried!

Meddy’s mother and Aunties are the stars of the story though. They are so funny, but also gentle and naive. They’re overbearing but in a good way and it was great reading the disasters they bring upon themselves.

I’m really happy I read this because it made me smile. I just wish it was longer!
4/5 stars.

I absolutely loved this book! The premise immediately hooked my interest and it was filled with twisty characters and such intense plot!

This was an entertaining sequel to Dial A for Aunties which is easy to read and well-paced. The story addresses important issues around belonging, immigration and racism in an accessible and relatable manner that stay with you after reading. The struggle of being in a migrant diaspora are also conveyed so well and the effects on identity.

This book is absurd. So was the first one so I knew what I was getting in to I have only myself to blame. All the way through I was reading it with a kind of frustrated agony. It’s like reading a train wreck. So basically what happens is that Meddy is marrying her rich, perfect boyfriend who is blinded by love he doesn’t mind that she’s involved him covering up a murder. So they need a wedding vendor. I had never heard of this before, anyway they turn out to be up to no good and Meddy and her aunts spend the whole wedding trying and failing to sort it out. The plot is full of holes, Sutanto even makes excuses for the holey plot at the end. It’s so over the top it’s ridiculous and all the time I just kept thinking, brides on their wedding day do not have that much free time, this was probably the most unbelievable thing about it. Anyway we’re not reading this for reality are we so a lot can be forgiven but I wish there was just one sensible character to say “hey why don’t we not cable tie that guy”.

I just can’t get enough of the four aunties series, I really enjoy them from start to finish. The characters are incredible and it really made me laugh out loud!
I like the way important issues are tackled alongside making you giggle and smile and all the important things in a book. It’s well written and gripping and I do hope there’s a third instalment in this one!

I love these books because they are just so fun and fast paced, and the characters are hilarious ! The second instalment was certainly no exception. I will never not enjoy a book by Sutanto - her writing has me hooked from the firs sentence and the way she develops and writes the characters in her stories is hard not to fall in love with.

After reading the first part in the series I was dying to know what happened next and this instalment didn’t disappoint. It has the same humorous and silly escapades that charmed me in the first book

Thanks to the publisher for my copy!

Absolutely loved this book! A perfect sequel with a perfect setting and amazing mystery 😍
I can't wait to read more installments in this series, and I hope the author continues the mystery!

*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

I fell in love with the chaotic story of Dial 'A' for Aunties when I read it a while back, so I was excited when I found out there was going to be a sequel.
While this book was just as chaotic as the first, I wasn't as in love with it.
There were definitely hilarious moments. It was fast paced and fun. Yet, for me it didn't hook me in as much as the first one did.
I am glad I read it, and I'm looking forward to further work by this author, as I do love her writing style.

Oooomg, it was AMAZING to meet four aunties again. Love them SO MUCH!!! This is the book I needed to read! Such heartwarming and hilarious story. I haven't laughed like this in a while.

Regardless of the fact that I enjoyed overall the first part, I also enjoyed the plot of the second one, probably I would just give it half-star or one star less for this book.

Please, tell me that there will be the third book!

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with the arc e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved Dial A for aunties and read it in one sitting so I knew I would enjoy this one.

Once again this book had me laughing out loud, Jesse.s writing is absolutely fantastic and this sequel was just as good.
All the characters are so incredibly lovable even if they can be slightly insane at times.
I binge read this quicker than the first so if that’s not a reason to persuade someone to pick up this book, I don’t know what is.

In the same ‘grab you and won’t let go’ vein, I feel the need to pull your attention over to this, Four Aunties and A Wedding’ by Jesse Sutanto (nice Segway eh?;). This was a book sitting in chart regularly and coming up to the counter with people gushing that their friends had told them it was the best ever, and, as I did whenever a romcom or thriller came to be sold, I wanted to grab it to read the back, because it totally does look like my cup of tea and also my nice cool juice or fizzy drink too (it’s hot, I can’t be talking about tea!!)

This book was so my thing, in fact I can’t even begin to tell you how much. It is the story of Meddy, who apparently we met in the first book (which I wish I’d read just because it sounds as good but not reading it on the whole didn’t impact this one for me), who is getting married.

You might think that this is a rom com with some form of madcap thread running through it, but actually there’s crime and mystery and mafia in here too!!!!

I loved everything about this book, I loved the clash of cultures, the sudden surprises where you thought ‘hold on, what?!’, the characters, all of them, with a great balancing act done, oh, and as well as that not just the setting, but the crisp realness to all of it as it played out like a movie in my head. Fab book and can’t recommend enough for escapism perfection. So recommended! Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the book in return for an honest review.

Rating:5/5

This book was really funny! I loved the first book, so I had such high hopes for this one and it certainly gave some laugh out loud moments!

I devoured this book in a day or so and was so happy to be reading about such fun and enjoyable characters. I just love the aunties, they’re all so different and so comedic! They bring such great light relief to the story and have the best and most chaotic ideas.

I’ve already recommended to some friends and I would definitely recommend to others!
