A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.
“A delightful, light-as-air romance that successfully straddles the line between sweet and smart without ever being silly…The novel is simply captivating from beginning to end.” - Associated Press
Marnie MacGraw wants an ordinary life - a husband, kids, and a minivan in the suburbs. Now that she’s marrying the man of her dreams, she’s sure this is the life she’ll get. Then Marnie meets Blix Holliday, her fiancé’s irascible matchmaking great-aunt who’s dying, and everything changes - just as Blix told her it would.
When her marriage ends after two miserable weeks, Marnie is understandably shocked. She’s even more astonished to find that she’s inherited Blix’s Brooklyn brownstone along with all of Blix’s unfinished “projects”: the heartbroken, oddball friends and neighbors running from happiness. Marnie doesn’t believe she’s anything special, but Blix somehow knew she was the perfect person to follow in her matchmaker footsteps.
And Blix was also right about some things Marnie must learn the hard way: love is hard to recognize, and the ones who push love away often are the ones who need it most.

Put it down... well it was an audible book. Anyway the narrator was really good. Her character voices were well done.
This story follows the life of one young woman named Marnie (spelling?) and the people who come into and out of her life. I don’t want to give any part of the book away, but i will say that it will leave you feeling good.
I didn’t realize this was a 2018 new release book, and I haven’t read any other books by Maddie Dawson. I am going right over to Amazon to purchase another one of her novels~ I like this author that much.
Well written positive inspiration

Blix reminded me so much of some special elders in my life and the reflection of reminding me to actually listen to their stories and advice (of course not always take it.) I did get triggered/ stressed during some of the parts of Blix's family's rude behavior & consistent undermining of her life choices as a grown woman. I think it was very much relatable which means kudos to the author for really putting that perspective out there.
The hardest thing for me in the book is the cluelessness of the main character, I don't really enjoy when women are constantly portrayed as "marriage/ relationship" is the only thing that will make someone whole. But of course this is a romantic light read - but just then man, to man, to man thing to be fulfilled was a little much.
Overall, I really would recommend the book. It had an array of characters that brought so much life to the book and helped move the main character along. I would give it a 3 1/2 stars but since that is not an option I will go with 4.
A good light listen
