You get 4 meddling Asian aunties coming to the rescue!
When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it is inadvertently shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy, her Ma, and aunties are working at an island resort on the California coastline. It’s the biggest job yet for the family wedding business
—”Don’t leave your big day to chance, leave it to the Chans!”—and nothing, not even an unsavory corpse, will get in the way of her auntie’s perfect buttercream flowers.

But things go from inconvenient to downright torturous when Meddy’s great college love—and biggest heartbreak—makes a surprise appearance amid the wedding chaos. Is it possible to escape murder charges, charm her ex back into her life,
and pull off a stunning wedding all in one weekend?
Amazon.com Review
It’s a tale as old as time: Ancient Chinese curse causes men to leave the Chan women so the family tries to outrun fate by moving to California and setting up a wedding business. But the curse catches up with Meddy Chan. So mama Chan goes online, poses as Meddy, and finds her a man. Mom’s catfish game is a lot stronger than her emoji game though—an exchange involving eggplant gets lost in translation and Meddy finds herself on a blind date with a horny hotelier. The date ends with Meddy bringing him home to mom. But dead, and in the trunk of Meddy’s car. With a huge wedding to pull off at a ritzy California resort that day, this poses the first in a long string of screamingly funny challenges. Turns out though, that the Chan women are alarmingly pragmatic, devilishly inventive, and fiercely protective of one another. With a winning mix of Chinese culture, filial duty, murder, romance, and buttercream frosting,
Dial A for Aunties proves one of the most fun reads of the year so far.
