Mermaid Mambo Fun

This is the first book I have read from Fawn Germer, and I enjoyed it very much. The book is a zany hysterical adventure and I hope that the main character, Ruby, comes back to live in an adventure #2. Its been years since I laughed out while reading a book.

What a great romp! With something to think about ....

I've read all of Fawn's other books, and have even been lucky enough to meet her in person. This is such a wonderful book -- mystery, a little scary stuff, lots of laughter, and just wonderful women teaching each other...I couldn't put it down, laughed out loud, and was sorry to see the last page turned. Well-done, Fawn!

Mermaid Mambo

This was a great book. I could not put it down. I enjoyed each of the characters and their adventure. I will read it again. I was given my book and bought another to share with my aunt & uncle. They both loved it. I hope I have the same sense of adventure when I get old!

this is exceptionally funny, witty and just what i needed for my 57th birthday!

As an entrepreneur and starting my first business I was encouraged and inspired by the women featured in Ms. Germer's first book Hard Won Wisdom. Thankfully this was followed by another of Fawn's works, Mustang Sallies. Since i have her in my favorites I found this new novel and ordered it immediately. What a follow-up! Again following the paths of intelligent,entertaining and HILARIOUS women! This is the story of three women, young, middle-aged and old, as they make their way to Florida in a New York taxi cab. They leave New York uncertain about their place in the world, but figure out what life is all about as they build their friendships and explore the serendipitous side of life that they haven't indulged before. It is a crazy fun book that finishes with a greater sense of meaning for those of us who go along for the ride. I loved the characters, the settings, the whole concept. And, the author is as good as fiction as she is with the more serious non-fiction she writes. Congratulations Ms. Germer! when is the next adventure?
