Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto
5.0

There’s a scene in the movie 9 to 5 (an 80s CLASSIC and one of my personal favorites) where Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda have to figure out what to do with a dead body they have mistakenly stolen from a hospital. The vibe in that scene - the three women trying to figure out how to handle a major crisis while also avoiding getting caught, each of their personalities and relationships with each other honed to a sharp point while also being totally hilarious - is exactly the vibe of this entire book. Hilarious. Madcap. Totally over the top. Ultimately about the relationships between women.
