#140 - Author Chat w/ Jesse Q. Sutanto

On this episode, we sit down with author Jesse Q. Sutanto about her novel Dial A for Aunties, a story about a woman who has to rely on her mother and 3 meddling aunties to help her hide the body of the blind date she accidentally killed. We chat aunties, dim sum, and writing, as well as figure out the mystery behind how Dial A for Aunties was discovered by Netflix.
