This is a funny romance with plenty of heart. The third installment of Jennie Marts' Page Turner series, tells the story of the oldest member of the group, the elderly, but fun and feisty Edna.
The sudden return of Johnny, an old flame whom Edna had thought long dead, occasions some marvelous flashbacks to Edna's young adult years in the 50's. If you've read the previous books in the series this is a change of scenery, not to mention era. But the author does a marvelous job of creating the feel of the time and developing characters who are true to their day.
Meanwhile, back in the present, Edna's friends bring humor and love as they dive right in to help her discover the truth of Johnny's return as well as protect her from a very real present-day threat.
Marts books are always fun to read but 'Monday' had the added appeal of a very touching and tragic love story that might just have a shot at a happy ending-if they all survive to the end of the book (don't want to give away any spoilers here!). I highly recommend it for a fun and touching summer read or even a cozy winter get-away.
