CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Meeting Miss Mollie by Di …

Di Jones is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Meeting Miss Mollie
Summary:
She’s the Agony Aunt who has it all. Except for one small problem – her life is a disaster.

Annabelle is a hard nosed writer with a good marriage, a nice flat, a thriving career at Adorn magazine and a busy social life. She has only one ambition – to be the best known Agony Aunt in the UK.

When her world is turned upside down by her husband’s infidelity she strikes out on her own and goes flatting with a jet setting businessman. But things in her new house aren’t quite what they seem and her problems mount.

Through her ups and downs, Annabelle forges a relationship with the strangest of friends and discovers the best things in life are those she always avoided.

Meeting Miss Mollie is a story about lies, loss, loyalty, love and laughter, and will appeal to anyone who loves chicklit or romantic comedy. You’ll laugh as you read this book, and perhaps even shed a tear.
Review:
I have also read Transplanting Holly Oakwood by Jones and thought it was a delightful chick lit read. I was looking forward to reading Meeting Miss Mollie, and once again, thought it was fun chick lit book. Jones writes with humor, wit, spark, and I loved that we got a POV from Mollie – a dog! I thought that was a little different, and her chapters were cracking me up. Sometimes I didn’t understand the romance angle, it was like it kept coming out of the blue, and Annabelle seemed to get over her fear of dogs a bit too suddenly. But I liked Annabelle as a character, she was easy to relate to especially when it came to her failed marriage, and I did enjoy reading. I would recommend Di Jones to chick lit fans!

About Di

Born in Liverpool, I started my working life as a librarian, and have worked in a variety of jobs since, but none were as much fun as the one that allowed me to write and get paid for it. That was a few years ago, and each year it’s become more and more apparent what I want to do is write full time, a dream that first occurred to me at seventeen.

Like my characters, I love my family and friends, beautiful shoes, anything sparkly, the ‘occasional’ drink, parties, and a good belly laugh. I’m addicted to shopping, chocolate, bubble bath and anything else that smells nice, and the sort of TV programmes you’d never publicly admit to watching.

I’ve lived in England, Canada, the Unites States, but now call New Zealand home. I live in a lovingly renovated home overlooking Auckland’s beautiful Waitemata Harbour, with my trusted friends Bronson Boxer and Dolce Dane. They keep me fit and exercised, scare the burglars away, sit loyally by my side throughout my late night writing sessions, and hang on my every word when I read final drafts aloud. They truly are my biggest fans, and I theirs!

I love my life, but not so much that there’s not room to live a load of other lives, through the hearts and minds of my characters, all of whom I adore, and some of whom I’m fortunate enough to call friend.
