As some of you know, I'm a HUGE fan of Jen Turano's novels. If I ever need a laugh, I can assure you, Jen's books will be on my top list of books to read. When I heard that she was going to release a contemporary novel, o boy, I was ecstatic! I can't wait to see how she will write her usual quirky characters in a contemporary setting.  I was able to get a glimpse of the cover before it was released, and I was in love with it. That is one gorgeous cover, and intriguing as well. (Did you all catch the little horse and buggy in the background, not to mention the rather modernized dressed cover model?) I was even more thrilled when the said cover model graced this blog with her presence, chatting about the day of the cover shoot. Did you miss it? Check it out HERE.

Finding Margo is just as quirky and fun as Jen Turano's historical novels. It's filled with more than one mystery, though they do seem to all be connected in some way, and a bunch of weird characters that will either have you laugh out loud or shake your head in disbelief. It's contemporary romance at its core. I like the interactions between Brock and Margo, and would love to see more of Sebastian, the stylist that is way cooler than one would think. And there's one very smart duck named Gabby, that doesn't just like to gab, but a duck that has the personality that rivals any diva.  Margo hit it out of the park. She is funny and genuine. She doesn't sound like a diva, given that she is a "pop princess," and that's what makes it so much fun. If I need to pick one word to describe Finding Margo, it would be FUN. That word have stuck in my head since I started reading this book.


There's more than you think that's happening here. More than a pop star wanting some peace and quiet, or a deputy sheriff that's more than he seems to be. There's more than a little accident and more than what meets the eye in the quaint little Amish town of Millersburgh, Ohio. Then the message one wouldn't expect, but it's there, hightailing itself into your mind.  What we can expect is the same humor we see in the author's historical novels in Finding Margo. Bizarre scenarios and eccentric personalities will drive you to finish this novel in one sitting, and for me, I would love to continue on this series to find all the answers this town needs for peace. How soon can the author write, and the publisher publish may be your question as you turn the last page.
