"Chick Lit" is often described as genre literature which focuses on women's issues in a humorous manner and usually has an element of romance. "Hen Lit" is the same, but for the older set, 35-45 years old. And this is how I would describe Maggie's Mondays -- the story of a weak woman learning to find her inner strength.Maggie is a divorcee who struggles with raising four kids on her own while her husband ditches their family to start a new one. In her struggle to raise them, she's tried to make up for the loss in their lives by spoiling them in a manner that has caused them to disrespect her in every way. Meanwhile, her life is turned upside down by her potential love life and she learns that in order to earn the respect of her children, she needs to respect herself first.I loved this book. Diane Adams has become my go to for a guilty pleasure. Her books are fast paced and suspenseful, full of mysteries, yet they are not in the thriller/suspense genre. Her ability to weave a tale that keeps me up late consuming the book astounds me. Every time I pick up her latest book, it becomes my favorite. She doesn't disappoint!
