Synopsis:
“We are not invisible because the world does not see us. We become invisible when we can no longer see ourselves.” In a moment of epiphany, Mona Lisa Siggs, scratches a poignant quote on a lavender envelope. Faced with the daunting choice of saving her marriage, or killing her husband – which modern forensics has made nearly impossible to get away with – Mona decides to make one final effort to rekindle a relationship seriously on the skids. Cue the birds. Hours into their reconciliation, Mona and her husband Tom, find themselves surrounded by hundreds of crows who have made their home in Aunt Ida’s trees. With the help of brother-in-law Robbie, the duo find themselves engaged in radical crow relocation methods. Effort leads to mayhem for the Siggs, as they dodge bird goo, a crazy neighbor armed with a potato gun, and local law enforcement. From the chaos, lessons emerge, those that save a relationship, and shape a life. Becoming Mona Lisa is a delightful story of love and self-discovery, delivered with side-splitting laughter.

My review:
Becoming Mona Lisa is a simple tale of discovery. Mona Lisa comes to a crossroads, a journey I think a lot of us can relate to, she needs to decide which path her life should go: divorce or loneliness. Deciding to save her marriage, and Aunt Ida’s trees her husband, brother in law and Mona Lisa embark on a hilarious endeavor to save thousands of crows (my daughter would totally do this) but ends up looking at her husband in a new light. Becoming Mona Lisa is an endearing love story surprisingly enough, my favorite part was the irreverent, sarcastic wit. Normally I wouldn’t be drawn to this type of story but I think the humor and well written characters hooked me. Great rainy day read. 🙂
