I find it hard to put into words how delightful the story was. The author is has a way of weaving a story together and making it both realistic and hilarious. I literally cried real tears because I was laughing so hard at times. 5 stars. Would definitely be highly recommending it.

Nathan and Meddy Chan are coming from their honeymoon to Jakarta to spend it with Meddy's family for the Chinese New Year. It makes me laugh as they are piling all the food on Nathan's plate and made enough food for a small army. Nathan is enjoying meeting the family until he realizes this isn't everyone but a small portion of the family.

Abraham Lincoln comes with to see Second Aunt and bring presents. Nathan and Meddy hand out all the red envelopes to the children and singles.

Abi panics as he realizes that one of the envelopes went to the wrong person. Now they must track it down to save face with Julia Child. The aunties come up with a plan as Julia Child will hold Nathan hostage until they return with what she wants.

The aunties plots to save the family are hilarious I just loved this series.

This was a cute update to the series, but sadly not as good as the first two books. I think it's good this series is over.

Meddy Chan and her newly-wed husband Nathan plan to wrap up their honeymoon with a trip to Jakarta to meet Ma and the aunties for a family visit and Chinese New Year celebration. The family celebration gets interrupted by Abraham Lincoln Irawan, who makes a huge splashy entrance to impress the love of his life, Second Aunt -- but his largesse to the family turns sour when he realizes he has lost one gift intended for a fellow businessperson, and the consequences could be dire. What else could possibly happen but that the aunties must investigate, and Meddy must pick up the pieces in their wake?

This final outing for the aunties retains the zany humor and antics from the previous two books. Meddy spends her time trying to rein in the aunties, worrying about Nathan's reactions to their over-the-top behavior (he's surprisingly chill), and finding a way out of the whole mess. Great fun, and I'm sorry to see the series wrap up. 4 stars.

Thank you, Berkley and NetGalley, for providing an eARC of this book. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

Meddy Chan and her four aunties are like old friends who never fail to entertain and bring laughter into my life. Every time I dive into another installment of their adventures, it feels like a cozy reunion with cherished characters. This time, the stage is set for an explosive and hilarious Chinese New Year celebration that takes a wild turn.

Meddy and Nathan, fresh from their dreamy European honeymoon, decide to spend Chinese New Year in Jakarta with Meddy's extensive family. Little did they know that they would find themselves in the midst of a gangster showdown involving three formidable crime lords: Kristofer Kolumbes, Julia Child, and Abraham Lincoln. The absurdity of these criminal aliases never fails to tickle my funny bone, and the way they insist on being law-abiding citizens is both comical and perplexing.

Things take a chaotic turn when Abraham Lincoln, of all people, decides to visit the aunties' relatives' house and mix up his gifts with those handed out by Meddy and Nathan to the children. Among these gifts is a special title deed promised to Julia Child, one of the most powerful figures in Indonesia's Ruo Fao Group. The mix-up sends Meddy, the aunties, and their unsuspecting relatives on a wild goose chase to determine which child received the title deed. Failure to find it in time could lead to disastrous consequences, as they risk infuriating one of the most dangerous crime lords around.

As if that weren't enough, the title deed ends up in the possession of someone far from ordinary, leading Meddy and the aunties to confront yet another menacing crime lord. The resulting chaos and confusion have them embroiled in a dangerous war between rival gangsters, leaving Meddy to navigate treacherous waters to keep her loved ones safe.

Meddy's journey through this hilarious and perilous escapade is a rollercoaster ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. Her determination to protect her family and friends, even as she finds herself knee-deep in illegal circumstances, showcases her resilience and resourcefulness.

This series never fails to brighten my day with its witty humor, memorable characters, and exciting mysteries. The ending of this latest adventure is sweet and promising, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Meddy and the aunties' escapades.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for providing me with a digital review copy of this delightful book. In exchange, I'm delighted to share my honest thoughts and my genuine enthusiasm for this uproarious series.

I stopped after chapter 1 (7%) but this seems solid. Fast paced, light, definitely a good time. I didn't feel like it worked as a standalone so it's not perfect for our libraries, but I did end up requesting book 1 from the library for myself to read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.
