The saying goes...Don't judge a book by it's cover...but, come on folks, they would all have plain covers if the authors/publisher didn't believe tht the cover has an impact on us.
I am often really surprised when I see a book with a mediocre cover that hides a fantastic read.
Todays offering is.....
Mona's world is turned upside down when her husband, Brian, announces that he is leaving her straight away, today! Mona was unaware that there was a problem in their marriage, let alone a third party - 30 years old, French and Blonde known as Dominique.
Up until now Mona, writer of romantic fiction, has been the model wife, caring for her husband and family, probably a little too well.
Mona is not short of support to help her get through this. She has a good network of close friends and her PA. Straight talking Aunt Lily, arrives on the scene and announces she needs to stay a while after selling her house. Oh, and Ben, the plumber!
So begins a summer of disastrous, but hilarious dates, and some good ones. Mona also has to find time to finish her latest novel.
This was a very funny read, with some fantastic characters including the men Mona had disastrous dates with. Cringeworthy moments for Mona, that any woman would recognise when getting back out on the dating scene after being in a long term relationship or marriage.
Mona's friends and family were a great support network to have around. They reminded me of The Real Housewives or Desperate Housewives.
Brian and his new flame were always popping up as exes do when there are kids in the picture. Great observations of how complicated families become when mum and dad divorce.
Mona based her romantic heroes on gorgeous Ben, the plumber and I loved the snippets of writing Mona would think up whenever Ben was around.
A great read for the summer.
4 and half out of 5 for me!
I received a copy of the novel from the Author for my honest review. Thank you, Dee.
