Dial A for Aunties is definitely one of my favorite books that I have read so far this year. The story is hysterical and I loved each and every one of the characters. Meddelin, the protagonist, is blessed (or cursed) with four Chinese-Indonesian aunties who are very present in her life and would do anything to make it better, even disposing of a body after a blind date that they sent her on goes wrong! There are so many laugh-out-loud moments in this book and the romance was very sweet (it always helps when the male love interest has the same name as your real-life love!). I cannot recommend this title enough and need to get my hands on the sequel as soon as it is published.
