The Making of Maggie Munroe by JJ Scott

Thank you - @JJScottAuthor @FirewordsMag @lovebookstours for being part of this tour and reviewing this book. Love the title and the front cover. The making of Maggie Munroe is set in Glasgow in the 1930 and 1940s . I like glaswegian convensaions in the book it give me a real feel for Maggie and her family and friends. Maggie is a fantastic character and i did like her alot and enjoyed reading about her releationship with Tom and finding out about the war in that time. I was on abit of a rollcoster of emotions while reading this book. The story is written beauiful and loved the historical fiction through out the book. The themes going through the book is loss, friendship and love. For me Maggie is a brave character there was so many losses she went through her life and i am glad Maggie had happy ending. Anyone who likes to read about Glasgow and the war will love this book. 5 stars . This is the first book i have read by JJ Scott but i will be reading more in the future. Blurb: Meet Maggie Munroe, a girl with the strength of Glasgow in her heart and a bunch of men trying to muscle their way into it. They won’t rest until only one has succeeded but, fortunately, she doesn’t suffer fools gladly and can see them coming a mile off - with the help of her intuition, her deid mammy and a Knickerbocker glory. It is wartime in Maryhill, Glasgow. The city is in turmoil but, throughout it all, its residents struggle for whatever sliver of normalcy they can get. With the support of a boisterous family and steadfast friends, can Maggie navigate 1930s and 40s societal politics in her attempt to find the right path? Her gang includes her unwavering daddy who often cannot see past the end of his nose, an interfering aunt whose biggest belief is in her own opinion and a train wreck girlfriend striving for acceptance, so, when it comes to the four men makin’ a meal o’ it, they are in good company. Still, oor Maggie will not go down without a fight.
