Moxie Summers is a curvy, twenty-six year-old teacher who has not had the
best track record with relationships. In a drunken stupor at a bar, she meets
Miles who turns out to be her sparing equal, until she vomits all over his shoes. Just when she thinks things couldn’t get worse, her dream man turns out to be the single father of the newest student in her class.
While fighting an attraction for Miles, Moxie’s conniving stepmother tries to advise Moxie she needs to get in shape if she’s ever going to catch the man of her dreams. To make matters worse a Girl Scout plans Moxie’s demise, a surprise party makes everyone blush, and then there was the skunk…
Can Moxie overcome all the Girl Scout cookies, food poisoning and a showdown at Costco to get to Miles?
The Good:
- This book is hilarious.
- Moxie felt like she could be my zany best friend.
The Bad:
This book made me laugh like no other. Z.B. Heller has such an amazing sense of humor, and it really shines through in The Chronicles of Moxie. Can Moxie be a real person? I so desperately want to eat a package of cookies with her while watching The Kardashians. This book reeked of realness, and I loooved it.
Moxie was a brilliant character. I loved her. Whenever I finished this book, I felt like I had made a new friend. I love that feeling. She had such an amazing sense of humor about everything. And the other characters? Brilliant. This story wasn't just about Moxie. It was about this great group of friends that I felt like I was part of. There was even a bitchy co-worker to hate on. What more could you want?!
The romance elements are just right. It definitely was present in the story, but it didn't overtake it. I'm trying not to spoil it, so I'll just say that Z.B. Heller did it right. It was the perfect build up to a very sweet ending. The ending did feel a bit rushed, though. It wasn't anything too distracting, but I felt like the book rushed to a close. Or maybe I just wasn't ready to let Moxie and her friends go yet.
If you need a good laugh while enjoying a glass of wine, you seriously have to pick up The Chronicles of Moxie. It's perfect blend of realness with enough sprinkling of humor and steaminess to help you escape reality!
