“With her enchanting novel, The Mmm Girl, Tara Hanks has placed herself in Marilyn’s dinky stillettos to give her the voice that she was so often denied in life …in her bright, colourful style, Hanks retells Marilyn’s story with tender empathy and imaginative flair.” — Mad About Marilyn, March 2008

Marilyn by Eve Arnold, 1955
“A brilliant, believable read…a weird and wonderful look into Marilyn Monroe’s life, from her childhood in foster homes and orphanages to her many marriages and relationships and her eventual death…though her fame certainly adds something, this would have been a really interesting read even if she wasn’t a well known name…inspiring and entertaining…a proper, engaging story that is a really fun and educational read. I learnt a lot, not just of the actress’s love for pills and booze but also about the politics of the day, but at the same time it didn’t seem at all like a history lesson.”

David Marshall, author of The DD Group: An Online Investigation Into The Death Of Marilyn Monroe, has reviewed my novel, The Mmm Girl.
“When reading The Mmm Girl, one can not help but realize that all previous attempts never quite got it – that elusive something special that made Monroe so incredibly unique…for those who have come to their own personal understanding of Monroe’s character and tale, for perhaps the very first time they will now be able to find ‘their Marilyn’ right there in print, all of her thoughts and actions captured in book form…Tara Hanks, who had never met Marilyn Monroe, let alone interviewed her or shared time with her, succeeds so far beyond other authors…it takes not only talent but heart to tell the story right. Tara Hanks has both.”
