Look out, Venice Beach--the Wolf women are all together again. But when 70-year-old Virginia arrives with her teacup Chihuahua and unshakeable confidence, she senses trouble. Erinn is keeping secrets--like being broke and out of work--and Suzanna is paying too much attention to the wrong man--a Latino dance instructor who nearly broke her heart once before. Virginia's ready for the third act of her life, and she intends to make it rousing and romantic. Now she just has to convince her daughters to throw out their old scripts. If life has taught Virginia anything, it's this: there's more than one way to a "happily ever after"...

  
REVIEW

Much Ado About Mother is the third book in the Venice Beach Romance Series by Celia Bonaduce. This story centers around widowed Virginia Wolf, her sassy chihuahua, Piquant, and her two daughters, Erinn and Suzanna, and can be read without having read the first two-books in the series.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It wasn't as much of a romance as I expected it to be and for that, I was grateful. Though it is said to be a contemporary romance, it is more a story of a mother reconnecting with her two daughters in the most beautiful of ways. Bonaduce writes a heartwarming tale about love and loss, and teaches us that finding yourself is possible no matter what your age.

Very well executed novel! I would definitely recommend to contemporary buffs.

My Rating:
