Holy shit this was so good. This is definitely a new favourite. I wasn't sure about it going in just because I didn't quite understand the synopsis but oh my god did it work. It literally took me like 10 minutes of the audiobook and I instantly knew I was in love. The family dynamics are incredible, I loved each of the Aunties and Meddelin's relationship with them. The story is so rich in Indo-Chinese culture. I alternated between the audiobook and physically reading, mostly audio though since I'm packing, and the narrator was perfect for the story! I loved each other love stories in here. I didn't expect second chance romance but I was soooo happy when that was what I got. This book is just steeped in so much love, wrapping in a little hilarious bow. I laughed out loud at multiple moments, and just couldn't stop smiling pretty much the whole time I was reading this. I'm obsessed with this book and definitely am going to pick up more from this author!

Mackenzi C Um I have a question do you know the age rating


janie I didn't quite know how to review a book this amazing without spoiling it to others....but you pretty much summed up exactly how I'm feeling. Listening to the audiobook made it even funnier hearing the characters come to life. The aunties and this whole book make me feel safe and at home


MarilynLovesNature Just started listening to this and found it really charming and humorous. I like the way the author explains her multicultural heritage, culture, food and languages. It's so interesting to me.
