Sutanto brilliantly infuses comedy and culture into the unpredictable
rom-com/murder mystery mashup as Meddy navigates familial duty, possible

"A hilarious, heartfelt romp of a novel about--what else?--accidental
murder and the bond of family. This book had me laughing aloud within
its first five pages... Utterly clever, deeply funny, and altogether

What happens when you mix 1 (accidental) murder with 2 thousand wedding
guests, and then toss in a possible curse on 3 generations of an
immigrant Chinese-Indonesian family?
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?
