Should a book about hiding a dead body be this amusing? Sutanto toes the line between comedic farce and lighthearted story about a woman who needs to believe in her own voice. Their scenes together were cute and full of yearning, though they were so besotted with each other that rekindling this relationship seemed like a foregone conclusion. Fate drops him back in her lap, of course on this very day she’s trying to figure out how to dispose of a dead body. Meddy found her ideal man, Nathan Chan, back in college, but she let him go out of fear. Meddy’s internal voice was world-weary and funny and endearing, and I would gladly hang out with her (but on a totally different weekend)! Not yelling at her aunties, going on with her job taking wedding photos when the dead body of the man she accidentally killed is roaming the halls freely, coming face-to-face with the lost love of her life…how she has any hair left by the end of the day is a miracle! She’s a little older than most of our YA BFFs, but I could sympathize that Meddy around her family didn’t always feel the real “her”, because I know I definitely slip right back into bad habits (*cough*actinglikeasullenteenager*cough*) around my family, no matter how old I actually am.

Meddy has infinitely more patience than I think I could ever have. So where do you stash a body until you’re ready to dump it? And what happens if that body accidentally joins the wedding in the most macabre ways… There’s just one slight wrinkle: this weekend is the wedding of one of their biggest, richest clients on an exclusive island off of the California coast, and everyone has a high-demand role that requires them there. Luckily, her Ma and three aunties are ready to do whatever-and I mean WHATEVER-they deem necessary to keep Meddy safe and free from behind bars. What was your worst blind date? It probably can’t top Meddy’s, which ended with her driving home with an actual dead body in her trunk. This is very on-trend for these kinds of chick-lit books right now, so while I think it’s cute, it’s also…just yet another cartoony cover. I love the fun, bright colors and the aunties all peeking out from behind Meddy. Bonus Factor: Close-Knit Families, Weddings
