Praise for Well, That Was Unexpected:

"Well, That was Unexpected is a delightful, hilarious, captivating love letter to Indonesia, and coming of age in a large meddlesome family, and the thrill of finding your person where you least expect it!"-- Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

"A hilarious, heartfelt rom-com with a refreshing take on matchmaking, complete with embarrassing, yet well meaning, parents and a social media twist."--Krystal Marquis, author of The Davenports

"Charming and immersive, this book feels like taking a trip to Indonesia. Jesse Q. Sutanto writes such vibrant characters, with gorgeous descriptions of setting, culture, and food. Don't read this on an empty stomach!"--Nicole Lesperance, author of The Depths.

"[Y]ou will enjoy every minute of it."--E! Online

"Sutanto is the queen of quirky heroines in borderline chaotic situations."--BuzzFeed

"[An] uproarious rom-com...Sutanto explores the richness of Indonesian culture and history through alternating first-person perspectives, a large and vibrant Chinese Indonesian cast, well-timed comedy, and soap opera-worthy drama in this summery read."--PW
