Dial A for Aunties should be a TV series. I could not stop laughing or finding the humour in EVERYTHING the family did. The chaotic plot was reminiscent of classic comedy movies. The way Meddy had to juggle family expectations and her own desires resonated with me. The complicated family dynamic was something I lived for. All the aunties create a lighthearted experience that you won't forget. Everything was a tad unrealistic but I did not care. I LOVED the unexpected romance aspect of this novel. I cried about the situation with Meddy and Nathan. The surprising aspect of what happened at the wedding me shook. I was interested in how Meddy was able to pick out the feelings of the best friend. I enjoyed Dial A for Aunties a lot. I haven't been reading many standouts lately but this perked my reading heart.
