🪟 Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers (Vera Wong, #1) by Jesse Q. Sutanto

For the Winter Reading Program for adults I wanted to read the book that Ale chose from her personal library. She chose this one and I borrowed it from the Glendale library. This is a very popular book. I bought the Eaudiobook on Audiobooks.com.




“Even its name irks her. The Café. She can just imagine the kind of confusion it has caused to its customers. Where would you like to go? The Café. Right, which one? The Café! WHICH ONE?’” (5).

Lolz teehee 🤭 just like the restaurant called The Place. XD


* Just from the first chapter I like the main character. She’s so funny and cute. Also, I really love the narrator for the Eaudiobook. She is really good at Vera’s accent.


* I really loved this book. It was a fun read and I want to read the sequel.
