杰西·Q·苏坦托的《拨号找阿姨》（Dial A for Aunties）是一部轻松幽默的独立小说。故事的主人公是梅德琳（梅迪）·陈，她在家族的婚礼公司担任婚礼摄影师。梅迪和妈妈住在一起，身边也总是围绕着三个阿姨，她们都还没有结婚。每当她们试图给梅迪介绍对象时，梅迪都会感到很恼火。显然，她们之间存在着各种语言障碍（中文、台语、普通话等等），这时不时会造成一些混乱。对于梅迪来说尤其如此，因为她虽然懂一些当地语言，但思想却更偏向美国化。
Meddy Chan would not like to go on the blind date her mom set her up on. However, she certainly didn’t anticipate that it will end with her accidentally killing the person. Panicked, Meddy goes to the four ladies who are the 最大的 source of comfort, love, and headaches in her life. Her nosy mother and her three aunties, who obviously come to the rescue.
Luckily, as Meddy and her aunties maintain a successful wedding business they’re very good at making plans and working together. Regardless of how much bickering and snide commentary is included. Overnight, things go from bad to very bad, when the cooler they put the body in is taken to an exclusive, high-dollar, over-the-top island wedding. That is the Chans greatest event of their whole lifetimes. Would they be able to ensure that the wedding goes off effortlessly and the dead body is not found? What’s more, what 将 happen when Meddy encounters the love for her life. The college boyfriend she broke up with four years ago. He is still in love with her as she is with him.
“Dial A for Aunties” by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a comical and heartfelt rom-com debut novel from Sutanto. In this novel her love for Indo-Chinese family is practically obvious in the writing. Which is joined with probably the most entertaining dialog and stunning plot twists. Additionally, plot twists: they are stunning in light of the fact that you are laughing and laughing hard. Since each time you think “It can’t in any way, get worse for Meddy and the Aunties”, you are wrong. Since it not just gets worse, it gets worse at the absolute 最差 time. Which frequently leads to entertaining tricks at the hand of the Aunties. Which leave helpless Meddy to attempt to get the pieces, cause distractions, and tries to be the voice of reason. However, she always comes up short since she is not Big Aunt; Big Aunt is Big Aunt for a reason.
然而，这个故事的核心是梅迪对妈妈和阿姨们的爱，以及她们对她和彼此之间的爱。她们会为了彼此藏匿尸体，并在生命中最重要的一天里一直隐瞒着这件事。所以，尽管梅迪有时对家人会有复杂的情感，但最终，家人终究是家人，她们会找到彼此相处之道。无论生活抛给她们什么，都无关紧要。
