Welcome to Litsy!

3 Stars • The last book in the Aunties trilogy. • The Good, the Bad, and the Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto focuses on family, cultural identity, and humor, set against the backdrop of Chinese-Indonesian traditions. During Chinese New Year in Jakarta, Meddy and her family face chaos when an ex of Second Aunt tries to win her back, leading to a dangerous gift mix-up. The family must navigate comedic and risky situations to retrieve the gift.

This is the last installment of the aunties series. It was cute, full of the antics we‘ve come to love. I think book two was my favorite of the three, but they‘re all fun, easy reads.

Meddy & Nathan meet the aunties in Jakarta, hi-jinks ensue. This last of the Aunties‘ books is the same bickering & outlandish ideas, but doesn‘t involve murder. I liked the plot & familiarity with the family. A light read, would be a great beach read.

⭐️⭐️

It‘s a so-so but in a good way - over-acting and full of laughs with those aunties being their lovable auntie selves. And we get to take our armchairs to Jakarta! I won‘t remember this story in a month but I will remember the giggles. I can see an opening for a continued series, but I‘m content at a trilogy.

Ridiculous hijinks but so much fun. Perfect read for the end of the school year.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

The first book is definitely the best, but I still enjoyed the conclusion to this trilogy! It was fun to see the characters return to the aunties‘ homeland in Indonesia, and of course, follow the chaos that ensues. The humor and heart of Meddy and her aunties will stick with me!

The Good, the Bad, and the Aunties - The Good was very Good, The Bad was very bad, and the Aunties were fabulous.
