Thank you @berkleypub and @prhaudio for the free #gifted books.

 

Over the top, a tad absurd, and totally fun!  

 

Normally, I do things in a logical, orderly fashion.  This series though... for some reason, I decided to start at the end. And considering the amount of chaos and mischief within these pages, my decision seemed fitting.  

 

Last year, I was introduced to Sutanto in her heartwarming and hilarious Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers.  Could there be another character as nosy, overbearing, and meddlesome as Vera?    

 

Well as it turns out, yes.  As impossible as it seems, the Aunties share much of the same outrageous qualities and maybe to the extreme!  

 

It’s apparent that Sutanto has a knack for writing wild storylines full of drama.  I can’t tell you how many times I rolled my eyes and laughed out loud at the Aunties and their antics.  From one misadventure to the next, I found myself fully entertained. 

 

But it’s not all hilarity and hijinks.  With the Chinese New Year celebration as the backdrop for the storyline, culture and tradition abound.  This read brims with strong family values and Asian pride.  

 

And the food!  Oh, the food! Be prepared for constant hunger pains!

 

🎧 The audiobook was such an easy listen.  Risa Mei’s narration brought an authenticity to Meddy and the Aunties, giving each a distinct voice and personality.  Her performance amplified both the humor and drama, making the listen a true treat.
