Even Better than Tiffany Trott!

Having read and loved "The Trials of Tiffany Trott" I was eager to dive into "Making Minty Malone" - and I was not disappointed. This is a very funny and touching book. If you are one of millions of women who feel the need to be "nice" because you were raised to always be aware of other people's feelings, then you will relate to this tale. Minty has always been too nice and too willing to bend to other people's wishes. But when she is jilted in the middle of her wedding vows, this marks the beginning of a reincarnation for her. It takes her a while to get over her fiance (we as the reader know full well why he is such a louse!) but when she pulls herself together and gets on with her life and career she really blossoms and takes full control. This is one of those books where you really like the main character and want so much for her and I found it very hard to put down once I started it. A really fun read.

What a mint of a book!

Isabel Wolff does it again! Minty Malone is all set to marry "Mr. Right" ~~ or so she thought ~~ only to be ditched at the altar in front of nearly 300 people. And that's just the beginning of a fun, self-discovery journey that Minty takes you upon. Devastated, she and her bridesmaid fled to France ~~ courtsey of the dumping Dominic ~~ there, she meets Joe while playing table football. From then on, it's a merry tale of Minty trying to adjust to single life again. Her wacky cousin Amber moves in, Minty's job suffers upheavals and comic actions, Dominic gets engaged AND dumps his next finacee and TRYS to get back with Minty ~~ only she's smarter this time around. And there's Joe who keeps Minty at arms' length. This book is chock full of happenings ~~ it can leave you quite breathless. But I can guarantee this, you won't be bored.You will find yourself rooting for Minty as she works to get through the embarassment of being dumped in front of the altar on her biggest day. There are chuckles aplenty in this book and lots of sighs over romances gone sour and/or gone beautifully. It is just a positive book and one that I will definitely read again! Don't delay ~~ pick it up as soon as you can. It's such a fun read ~~ you can't beat it.

Warning: this book could be addictive!

Dumped. Ditched. Deserted. Jilted. Minty Malone's ultimate nightmare comes true. Her fiance, Dominic, has run off on their wedding day. Minty, a sweet-mannered radio reporter, is suddenly single. After having suffered a mild nervous breakdown, she decides to improve her life. She is a pushover; everyone walks all over her. Well, no more Miss Nice Guy. With the help of her novelist cousin Amber, Minty throws the bouquet over a bridge, demands a promotion at work, and attends meetings that will help her overcome her sweet temper. In the process of a complete emotional transformation, she meets a charming novelist and screenwriter named Joe. But will she ever get over Dominic? And will she give love another chance? I couldn't put this book down. The wit, charm, humor, and compelling characters make this single-at-thirty-living-in-London novel utterly irresistible. I wanted to indulge in this book the same away I indulge in a delicious strawberry cheesecake. It is, without a doubt, addictive. Having said this, you should know how to handle it. Don't say I hadn't warned you!

Hell Hath No Fury....Well, Something Like That.

"Making Minty Malone" by author Isabel Wolff (Author of "The Trials of Tiffany Trott") is a wonderfully delightful and charming romantic comedy about a woman who never thought she'd face a hand like the one she got dealt. All set to marry a man who she believed to be "the one," Minty faces the realities that maybe God is just laughing at her. Dominic is gone. She's alone. And, now the question of what to do next looms great and loud. So, what's a girl to do but, take those honeymoon plane tickets, grab the girls, and head to Paris. There she meets a man who could change everything. If she'll let him. "Making Minty Malone" is a very sweet, fun and wildly romantic tale that captures the hearts of anyone that will read it. I found it as enchanting as "Bridget Jones," "Jemima J.," "Getting Over It" and "Come Together." If you loved those....CERTAINLY give this wonderfully written book a chance on your summer reading list. Great Book!

A great summer read!

I purchased this book in London last year, and devoured it on the plane on the way back to LA. The book is funny, clever and well written. From the start you are commiserating with Minty, and cheering for her as she becomes her own person through her relationship disaster, coworkers from hell and assertiveness training. If you liked 'Bridget Jones's Diary' you will undoubtedly like 'The Making of Minty Malone'.
