What’s new? Me, for starters… It all began when my job offered me a buyout package. That’s when the realization hit: I’m young, I’m rich (thanks to a hefty inheritance), and I’m boring. Things are gonna change — starting now… Building a better man trap… First things first: Exercise. Carrot juice. Straight hair. Whiter teeth. Clothes that fit. But wait — there’s more. I’m finally ready to … take a chance on love with the perfect guy. He’s handsome. He’s smart. He’s reliable. He’s my CPA. Problem is, I’m clueless about winning him over. It’s time to call in an expert. It’s time to call in The Dog. Down, boy. Mike “The Dog” Dougherty is a man’s man. A guy’s guy. Okay, he’s a chauvinist pig, and his sty is “The Dog House,” a testosterone-charged column in Maximum for Him magazine. On one hand, I abhor all he stands for. On the other hand, who better to coach me? So here I am. Learning the complex unspoken language of the American male (Talk, bad. Sex, good.); trying exciting new things (Stripping lessons are empowering. Really.); falling for Mike. Uh oh. But the Mike I’m getting to know is different from The Dog. And the Mona I’m becoming isn’t quite who I expected, either. This whole makeover scheme is getting crazier by the minute. But “crazy” beats “boring”… right?

I liked the Queen Gene better.
I’m obligated to give you fair warning – do NOT read the last few chapters of this book in your dentist’s waiting room. If you’re like me you will literally laugh out loud, and not only will you totally embarrass your spouse but you will also get some very peculiar looks from all the people sitting around you. And yes, I thought “Reinventing Mona” …
Some laugh at loud moments
It does have curse words which are totally unnecessary and the ending….. but all in all I looked forward to sitting down and reading a few chapters and I did laugh out loud a couple of times as well and being nervous about my speculation about what was coming.
When Mona decides to make herself over, retire early, and catch a particular man for a husband her therapist-friend is concerned. But, Mona is headstrong and goes forward with her hare-brained scheme. Light-hearted, goofy and fun, this can be an enjoyable read.
I enjoyed watching Mona discover her real self!
If you want a good laugh out loud read . . . this is the one for you!
Good quick read; reminiscent of the movie “The Ugly Truth”.
This was a very clever book.
Cute story.
SPOILERS!!!: You ever finish a book and go I have got to go do a review, right now?! Well that is what happened to me when I finished this one. It started out a bit slow, wasn’t sure I was even going to get into it. Especially with all the ridiculous antics Mona pulls on her dates with Adam. They were way to over the top to be believable. …
Ok this book was so strange. The girl is looking for love and yes she finds it but so strangely. I had a hard time with the way this story developed. The ending is rushed and unbelievable. I was expecting a funny entertaining read and got a strange hard to follow story.
I almost gave this book 4 stars – it just misses being THAT good. I’m hoping to see more from this author and hope she continues to improve.
I laughed out loud. Silly, but a fun quick read.
I enjoyed this book because it was different. It was a cookie cutter romance
Loved it!
