Your family would kill to see you happy

‘ARE YOU…DEAD?’
OH MY GOD. I THINK HE IS.
When Meddy Chan accidentally kills her blind date, she turns to her aunties for help. Their meddling set her up on the date so they kind of owe her.

WELL, THAT DIDN’T QUITE GO TO PLAN.
Although hiding this goddamn dead body is going to be harder than they thought especially when her family’s wedding business has THE biggest wedding of the year happening right now.

IT’S PRETTY BAD TIMING REALLY.
It turns out the wedding venue just happens to be managed by Meddy’s ex, aka the one who got away. It’s the worst time to see him again, or…is it? Can Meddy finally find love and make her overbearing family happy?

I liked this but didn't love it. Parts of it made me laugh but parts of it were too over the top for me and I can suspend belief in my books quite a bit. It was one comedy of error after another, and it became repetitive after a while. Every other page had a new "problem" which turned into another problem. I wish there was a little bit more character development and a little less of the back and forth of errors that the characters were continuously trying to fix. It's a mixed review from me. It had funny moments, but I also rolled my eyes especially at the end. I do like that it was a quick read, it was entertaining but I was expecting a bit more.
