Publisher's summary

When Mona Lisa Cicciarelli is left at the altar by Joey and his overbearing mother, Alice, Mona Lisa wonders what will be worse - the pitying stares from her friends and family or her parents' renewed obsession with the age of her ovaries and impending spinsterhood. Her father, Chick, tries to fix her up the day after she is jilted with the handsome, Italian-Catholic Dante Coletti, and it's then that Mona Lisa realizes her sanity is at risk. She needs to make a big change, and when she's offered a job opportunity in Atlanta, she consults Noni, her eccentric grandmother - and closest confidante - who gives her the push she needs.

Despite Chick's protests that she is abandoning the family, Mona Lisa escapes to the South, where she moves in with overly compassionate Southern belle roommate Brightleigh and sarcastic New York transplant Amy. She enjoys the South, but her social life is a series of disasters, and Mona Lisa wonders if she will ever live happily married after.

Well it’s a love story

The narrator was stilted at times, and the accents didn’t quite make sense. Kinda far fetched, but an easy listen. Glad it was free.

Definitely a Laugh Out Loud kind of book

I loved this story! Exactly what I needed to escape from the crazy world we currently live in, sit back, relax, and enjoy the story. The characters are fabulous, the performance is outstanding!

My new author

You are brought into the story slowly. The characters become family and you wish the story didn’t end. But it’s a happy ending.

Very sweet story

I liked this book because it’s about regular people and I could listen to it around my grandkids. Lol

Nice easy read especially when you’re in the mood for a plain ole romance.

more like a coming-of-age story

This is my first book from the author, and boy, I find this one lengthy. Well, technically, this was only just 6 hours long, but it has almost a hundred chapters; it gives an epic-like feel while reading it.

And it appears it is one as this one is a coming of age story of Mona Lisa, who got jilted in the altar, and we are brought in on her journey to finding herself again and at the same time finding someone who loves her just the way she is. Truth be told, my reading experience on this one was a bit tedious as the tone was monotonous. The conflict was not enough to heighten my interest in the rest of the story. But this won't be left unappreciated. The familial aspect and the sisterly bond she shares with her biological sisters and her new roommates were a fun read. All in all, if you are looking for a nice coming-of-age story, you may enjoy reading this one.

Meh

Had potential, but the main characters spinlessness and whining were as annoying as her overbearing parents.

Cute, Clean, Funny

This story was super fun for me because I'm familiar with the Italian Catholic heritage of the MC. This is on par with my big fat fabulous wedding but not as romantic. Alludes to sex and sexy situations but 90% is focused on family and the dynamics of finding your place in a very intrusive one.
