It all started with a bang. A ruined wedding, a jilted bride and a almost-monster-in-law. However, Mona Lisa has four sisters, parents and Noni to keep your sane while driving her insane.
What am I talking about? I am talking about Italian-American family with 5 grown-up daughters. The second last princess is left at the altar – the best thing that could have happened to her. From this point onward Mona Lisa’s life will change… for the better.
This book made me laugh. It had a very good energy and dynamic to begin with. As the narrative unfolded, the energy folded, though. The plot became too predictable and too descriptive. I was waiting for a drama that never happened.
Mona Lisa is a very nice story of coming to age, coming to womanhood, coming to love… and settling down. There is no major drama, no life-changing events or heartbreaking moments. There is enough wit, sarcasm, Yiddish and Italian terms, stereotypes, food and guilt to make the reading interesting and fun.
A very light quick read.

The kind of book I needed to unwind. Fast, funny and witty. Thanks for the copy!

I liked Mona Lisa and her family, especially Noni. Fun characters and a sweet romance story.

A big Thank you to NetGalley and Waldorf Publishing for the ARC for my honest review. First time reading this author. I found this to be a cute, fun story. Nice to read about other peoples crazy family dynamics sometimes. It will make you laugh. The family is way over the top. I rated it a 3.5. I think that most romance readers will really enjoy this book. Give it a read and let me know what you think. Enjoy.
