The mix of humor, respect and endearment mix with the cross culture undertone including the British side, making the story is a rolicking romcom. There is respect also to the Indonesia nods she adopted in her stories. I like Jesse naratives while highly humorous but also able to convey with respect and endearment. I love the stories about the aunties, they all have different personalities and nearly describe stereotype of aunties in a typical family, not only Indonesia Chinese descent, but even in my own family with Aunties (including my own mom as one of the stereotype). She mistakenly killed a man who was harassing her (was match make by her mom through dating apps) and then the story become even more hilarious as she need to carry the dead man into a wedding job that she and her mom and aunties need to deliver in an island – where she then meet her ex gorgeous boyfriend. It tells of story of migrant of Chinese Indonesian in US – and boy, arent they colorful bunch of people and incredibly funny ! It is a story about a girl named Meddelin Chan who grew up with her single mom and her aunties. Therefore I am excited when Jesse Q Sutanto published Dial A for Aunties and its successive series. This is a fabulous light read with genuine family relationships and frequent surprises I loved the romance and the hilarity of the events, but it doesnt feel. I always feel green with envy there is none with Indonesian background despite we are also interesting bunch of people with very diverse tribes / descents and languages, not to mention backstories. At the glitzy Palais screening, director James Mangold and stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen. I have read those written in English by international writers with variety of backgrounds and backstory of many nationalities. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday night. Before the dawn of internet age (and Kdrama craze), it is one of my secret guilty pleasure that help me bridge difficult moments (and God knows I have a lot of them). I read romantic comedy a lot over decades.
