The stories thread together culture, contemporary dating chaos, and the resilience of close-knit families who will do anything for each other—even when it leads them into bigger, louder trouble. The collection invites readers to immerse themselves in Meddy’s world, where misunderstandings become opportunities for growth, and every aunt brings a distinct flavor of humor, wisdom, and chaos. It’s a celebration of community, laughter, and the messy but joyful pursuit of happiness, all within a modern *set* that feels both fresh and familiar.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Dial A For Aunties: In this debut, Meddy Chan’s attempt to orchestrate a flawless first date ends in a murder mystery that only her three meddling aunts can mismanage with charm. The trio—plus Meddy—must navigate a cascade of cover-ups, mistaken identities, and increasingly ridiculous alibis as they scramble to keep themselves out of prison and their wedding plans on track. Sutanto’s brisk humor and sharp social observations shine as family loyalty collides with chaotic consequences, creating a page-turning blend of suspense and laughter. The novel introduces Meddy’s vivid circle of relatives and sets the tone for a series built on momentum, misadventure, and heart. Expect witty dialogue, outrageous situations, and a heroine who learns to lean on her clan—while teaching readers that love, in all its noisy forms, is worth the risk.

Four Aunties and a Wedding: The family saga continues as the same spirited aunties rally behind Meddy’s romantic life, only to find themselves in a whirlwind that spans culture, ceremony, and clever deception.

Sutanto’s signature blend of razor-sharp humor and warmth makes each scene feel intimate yet hilariously large-scale. The cast expands, the stakes rise, and the emotional payoff lands with sincerity amid the laughter.
