I love stories like this. The author gives you characters that seem unlikely but to perfect. I love stories that puts a person in a group of people that love and wish them well. The characters were all well written. The author plotted the details together so well. I was entertained from beginning to end.

Minx is my first experience with Maggie Adams’ writing but likely not my last. This was a rather short book but it wasn’t short on laughs or keeping my interest. I was completely interested in this story when I read the funny, light hearted synopsis and I’m pleased to say the book roped me in just as quickly.
If you’re looking for a fast read that is humorous and relatable, give Minx a go.

Oh my word. What a fantastic book. This was a new author for me and she certainly didn’t disappoint. I literally was laughing out loud throughout the book. These characters are extremely well written and I couldn’t walk away until I read the book from beginning to end. Loved it and so thankful to have found this author. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely story that i enjoyed more and more with every page i turned. This did make me sad at the beginning. But more than made up for it later. The story was good and I loved the characters.
Miranda was goofy at times and I wondered what she is thinking. Other times she just had me shaking my head. But overall she gave me hope. Hope that even though someone Is older…she can still have that life she fantasized about living. Sometimes Act Two can be better than the first.
Thank goodness for her girlfriends. While they add nicely to the story they didn’t take anything away from Miranda. I did LOVE the name they gave her ex. It cracked me up! This is a shorter story but It really doesn’t seem that way. I felt like this was a full book with all the love, silliness and irritation that would accompany it. The ending rounded the book out perfectly! I loved it!

This is my first book by this author, I loved it! It is a fun story that has humor, romance and drama. It is a well written, creative story that I read in one sitting. The characters bring the story to life and made me feel as if I was part of the group. Miranda was my favorite and the secondary characters really did support her. Everyone could use friends like hers. It is about finding yourself after divorce and the journey to finding a HEA. A must read!

The story Minx by Maggie Adams is a book that I loved reading. It is one of those stories that had me smiling as well as laughing so much at times that I had to keep from falling out of my chair. I loved reading about the character of Miranda Blake. Miranda is a woman that I found funny, compassionate, and just plain fun to read about. While she says that she considered herself a doormat, I found her to be witty, at times sarcastic, kind, and loyal. I found myself caring about her with each chapter that I read and wanted her to be happy. The story at times includes strong emotions. This is a tale that grabbed my attention from the first chapter and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. There are additional characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about their part in the story as well as their interactions with Miranda. I found that the events that occur in Miranda’s life made it interesting and certainly not dull. This is a wonderful story to read and one I would recommend to be at the top of your to-be-read list.

MINX by Maggie Adams was a delightfully funny romp that had me smiling and laughing out loud as I read along. This is also my first read by Ms. Adams, and what a great introduction it was! I will certainly be going on a search to hunt down more of her books to explore.
I loved meeting Miranda, and the rest of the cast of interesting and quirky characters. They were really well developed, realistic, and relatable- this story is definitely character driven, and really wouldn’t be the same without them. But there is more to this story than just the humour- there is also loss, shock, confusion, friendship, strength, finding yourself, some drama, witty dialogue, and a great ending!
After 20 years of marriage, Miranda’s husband decides to end their relationship- forcing her out of the family home and replacing her with a younger woman. She is a little lost- and with little skills except those of a stay at home mother and wife, she’s not sure what to do. But with the help of her friends, she sets out on her ‘adventure’ of building a life for herself after 20 years of basically being a doormat. And so, the hilarity ensues.
This was a very short, quick and easy read. It zipped along at a fast pace, which made it a little hectic at times, and also made it a little difficult to fully connect with the characters. I would love this book to have been a bit longer, so we had more time to invest in the characters and their story.
Having said that though, this was a really fun story and I did enjoy it.
Thank you, Ms. Adams!

This was my first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. I found myself laughing out loud more than once and I enjoyed that Miranda wasn’t the perfect in every way 20 some year old. She was written in a way that made her feel like a real person and I so appreciated that. I think one of my only negatives is that it wasn’t long enough for me. I enjoyed everything about this book except I don’t know that I ever completely connected to the story. It seemed to move a bit too fast and I would have loved more.
I will say that the very first line of the book was enough to grab me and I didnt put it down till I was finished, and my first introduction to Kimy had me rolling. I Loved Reed, once I figured out why he was the way he was with Miranda and although at one point I wanted to jump in my kindle and kick him in the shins he redeemed himself quickly in my eyes.
I really did love the whole of this book, and I love this authors writing and just simply wanted more of it. I definitely want to read more from this author.

Minx by Maggie Adams. I loved this book. Its a short, hilarious read. Its the story of Miranda Blake who is almost 50 and dealing with all the “hilarious” things our bodies do to us during this time and also dealing with work, being overweight and trying to figure out what the heck to do after a divorce. She has a great group of friends that are her rocks and they are always there for her. She is super surprised when Reed a handsome devil, sweeps her off her feet and things begin to look up. This book is all about a woman who was used and abused for years and gets dumped and finding her way back to the woman she once was, sassy and classy. I loved this book and I hope to read more from this author.

Spring is in the air and all thoughts lead to love, right? Well, if you’re Miranda Blake, you’ve got more important things on your mind – like being homeless (sort of), unemployed (definitely) and recently divorced (rat bastard). So what’s a girl to do? With the help of her friends, she’s determined to dust off the booty, lift up the ladies, and get on with her life, except she doesn’t have a clue on how to do it! And that lands her in trouble with the law, mooning a mall, and falling (literally) for the wrong man.
