Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a uniquely entertaining novel that combines humor, suspense, and a touch of romance. The protagonist, Meddy Chan, finds herself in a dire situation when she accidentally kills her blind date, thanks to a disastrous set-up by her overbearing mother. Meddy’s only choice is to turn to her close-knit but meddlesome family of aunts, who are notorious for their ability to handle difficult situations, albeit in unconventional ways. As they converge to help dispose of the body at an extravagant wedding venue, chaos unfolds. The narrative cleverly intertwines Meddy's personal struggles with identity and the pressures of family expectations, while also navigating through slapstick mishaps and a burgeoning love interest that rekindles during the mayhem. This story explores the deep bonds of family loyalty, the clash of cultural values, and the lengths to which one might go to protect loved ones, all within a laugh-out-loud, suspense-filled plot that keeps readers both amused and on edge.
