As a proud owner of four (4!!!) editions of Dial A For Aunties, no one is more disappointed by my less-than-stellar experience with this sequel than me. Truly.

I try not to pit books against each other, but since these are installments within the same series, I have to say that Four Aunties and a Wedding failed to deliver the same charm, feel-good antics, and laugh-out-loud humor that the first book had in spades.

Even with me shooing away all semblance of logic and common sense, the plot was held together by a very, very flimsy thread. Try as I might to lean into its absurdity, I just couldn't do it. And on top of that, it was incredibly difficult to find humor in the family chaos when there was an underlying current of melancholy throughout the book. It's one thing for shenanigans to happen at your client's wedding (like in Dial A for Aunties), but for everything to disastrously implode on what should be the happiest day of your life - and forcing you to abandon your soon-to-be husband for most of your wedding? It's not funny. It sounds absolutely miserable. And all I could focus on was how bad I felt for Meddy and how even substantially worse I felt for Nate.

Not recommended.
