### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Yawn
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021*

The journey to identifying the murderer was somewhat boring. I kept waiting for the storyline to pick up. It never sparked for me. I was suspicious of the “bad guy” already, so the big reveal didn’t make much of a splash. The story was decent, but a little too sleepy for my taste.

    A good story but ...
  

*by L***P on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021*

As the first in a new series, this book set up the characters and setting well. I enjoyed the quirky relatives, especially the older aunts (the Calendar Crew) and the relationships among the extended Filipino family. Lila tried to solve the murder because the police focused on her, although I do agree with another reviewer that their evidence was unrealistically flimsy. The plot was good enough to be entertaining, although there were a few times when I wanted to yell “Don’t go in there!”. My only complaint was that the unfamiliar Tagalog terms interrupted the flow of the story for me. Either I had to stop and consult the glossary or the author had to stop and describe the dish. Not sure what the solution for this might be, except maybe that as I read more by this author I will familiarize myself with the terms. All in all, the book was worth the two evenings it took to read and offered an interesting glimpse into a culture I am not familiar with.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Such a fun read
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021*

If you could combine some Nancy Drew sleuthing with an early 2000s kilig rom com with your favorite Filipino food in the best way possible, it would be this book. Manansala's writing is hilarious while also touching on more serious themes, including the unique experience of diasporic Filipinos and other second generation immigrants as well as the opioid crisis. In addition, her food imagery is mouth watering. I'm definitely craving adobo, pinakbet, and mamon after reading. My one criticism is that the dialogue occasionally feels like it's filled with the witty comebacks and banter of a sitcom cast, rather than what someone would say in real life. Alas, it is fiction - and very fun fiction at that. A great light read that you can finish in a cross country plane ride. I highly recommend 👌 and I look forward to the sequel.
