Thirty-four year old, Mimi Finnegan is the third of four daughters and in her eyes, by far, the most unremarkable. She has no singular accomplishment that can stand up to any of her sisters. And if that isn’t enough, she is the only single sibling in her family.
Mimi’s sisters decide that it’s time she gets serious about husband hunting, so they begin a campaign to find Mr. Right for her. … her. Considering her most recent dating encounters include a night club owner who stuffs bratwurst in his pants and a WASPy trust fund baby, living happily under his mother’s thumb, Mimi is more than ready to meet THE ONE. Enter celebrated British novelist Elliot Fielding.
Sexual tension and anger heat up between the duo and it isn’t until Mimi discovers that Elliot is almost engaged to another that she realizes she is head-over-heels in love with him.
The journey will make you laugh, cry and want to pull your hair out from frustration! Mimi eventually learns that she is quite remarkable in her own right and never needed to worry that she lived in her sister’s shadows.
The Reinvention of Mimi Finnegan is the perfect laugh-out-loud, feel good book for any woman who has ever felt that she wasn’t good enough.

I love the way this author writes. It was as if I were there talking with her about her life. It was refreshing after reading so many formula romances. I loved her wit. she is so original and funny.
I found myself laughing out load especially at the beginning of the story. Mimi, the bunion and weight watchers is a reality I can relate too. Mimi felt she had to reinvent herself but really she needed to accept herself. Her ability to make friends and see the positive was endearing.
I couldn’t connect with Elliot, her love interest. He is kind and has stayed with Beatrice through her trials. I think to me his and Mimi’s relationship felt like cheating……..
Fun read. Maybe not all that believable, but fun to read. Good character depth.
I liked this book so much I bought the next two in the series. And I usually don’t buy books on bookbub, I read the free ones.
A nice reminder that the other’s perceptions of us are not always as low as we may see ourselves with a high bar of comparison. Entertaining novel.
not overly realistic, but fun to read.
Great read! Loved it!
Really liked the main character. Really liked her transformation. Great read.
Laugh out loud funny! Mimi says all the things we are really thinking! Great, light-hearted story with HEA.
Got this book on a bookbub giveaway and somehow kept it in my collection without reading for ages.
Once i started reading it, i wondered why i took so long to start reading it. It was honestly funny and quite engaging. Read it from start to finish in one go and enjoyed it. Thoroughly.
It was good clean humor. Not like some of the ‘humor’ books i have read which were off-color or plain bizarre. Some of the things i found quite interesting and funny were the weight loss related one’s. Like eating a meal and then searching for it , imagining you haven’t eaten yet. Checking your chart to see when and what you can eat next. Workout related stuff where you do something minimal and want to quit asap. Very relatable for anyone who has ever tried a weight loss.
All of the supporting characters were great too. Like Kevin and Richard
This was a sweet funny story! Mimi is like so many women- she doesn’t feel adequate and questions her every decision. I love that even though this is a romance, she doesn’t ever lose what makes her realistic!
A fun read reminiscent of Bridget Jones or Sophie Kinsella.
I enjoyed this book as much as “She Sins at Midnight” by the same author.
This is a great story that is hilarious.
This is not a good book. Characters are very superficial, plot line feels like a high school student wrote it. Not much development of character on a thoughtful mature level.
I disliked this book very much.
very hard to get into
Mostly just ridiculous. Protagonist gets a makeover and drops everything else in her life to be beautiful.
I love an author that can make me laugh. Quick, easy read to relax with.
